FROZEN PRODUCE
INCREASED AMERICAN USE. VITAMIN CONTENT RETAINED. Statistics, prepared by the foodstuffs division of the Federal Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce relative to “frozen” and “frosted” foods, reveal that 47 American companies reported an output of 169,209.0001 b of quick-frozen foods in 1936, while in 1937. 62 companies reported an output of 273,407,7661 b. Trade estimates for 1938 place probable production at about 480,000,0001 b. The survey points out that research workers estimate that wasteelimination ranges from 33 to 66 per cent in frozen vegetables, and from 15 to 80 per cent in meats and sea foods. Research has also shown that vitamin retention and nutritional value are satisfactory, and that although frozen koods do deteriorate quickly when thawed, bacteria are effectively checked while the food is frozen.
