CHAPTER NO. 586 A BILL ENTITLED. AN ACT to repeal and re-enact with amendments Section 171 of Article 43 of the Annotated Code of Maryland, title "Health," sub-title "Adulteration of Food and Drink," as said section was amended by Chapter 333 of the Acts of 1920, increasing the amount of milk fat to be used in ice cream.
SECTION 1. Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Maryland, That Section 171 of Article 43 of the Annotated Code of Maryland, title "Health," sub-title "Adulteration of Food and Drink," as said section was amended by Chapter 333 of the Acts of 1920, be and it is hereby repealed and re-enacted with amendments to read as follows:
171. The standard under Section 166 to 177 for the quality, purity and strength of drugs shall be the standard set by the United States Pharmacopoeia or the National Formulary. That any standards of quality, purity and strength for foods or for drugs not already standardized by the United States Pharmacopoeia or National Formulary the standards heretofore adopted by the United States Department of Agriculture are hereby declared to be the standards of purity, quality and strength for such foods and drugs in the State of Maryland, except in the case of ice cream, in which case the standards are declared to be as follows:
(a) Ice cream is a frozen product from cream and other milk substances and sugar, with or without a natural flavoring and containing not less than 10 per cent, of milk fat, to which may be added fresh eggs and not exceeding 1 per cent, of pure gelatin, gum-tragacanth or vegetable gum, without statement of such fact, and such goods may be called ice cream, provided the required percentage of fat is maintained. Provided, however, in ice cream, flavored either by fruits or nuts, a lower milk fat content is per-missable, but in no case shall the ice cream so flavored contain less than 8 per cent, of the milk fat.
SEC. 2. And be it further enacted, That all Acts or parts of Acts inconsistent with this Act, be and the same are hereby repealed to the extent of such inconsistency.
SEC. 3. And be it further enacted, That this Act shall take effect June 1, 1924. '
