Western Canner and Packer

Chronic health complications that may develop from eating food that contains traces of harmful spray residues depend upon the amount present and the extent to which daily or recurrent ingestion of the contaminated food continues. Not all foods included in the daily diet carry spray residue. Based upon statistics obtained from The Western Canner and Packer and the U. S. Department of Agriculture (8, 4 approximate percentages of various foods eaten per person in the United States are given in Table II. 

As soon as one can of food has been packed, a statistic has been created. At least one third of the questions received at one library associated with the canning industry deal with statistics in one form or another The quantity of No. 2 cans of cream style corn packed in 1951, the size of the cherry crop in Michigan, the per capita consumption of frozen broccoli are typical queries. The variations of these questions can be endless, bringing in factors of price or numbers of employees, etc. The most comprehensive sources of statistical information are the statistical review and yearbook number of the Western Canner and Packer Canned Food Pack Statistics, published by the National Canner s Association the convention number of Quick Frozen Foods the yearbook number of Pacific Fisherman and Canning Trade Almanac, published by Canning Trade.
