IS FROZEN MEAT DANGEROUS?
Owing to the fact of an English family, named Richards, being seized with illness after eating New Zealand mutton, and one member dying from ptomaine poisoning, a great outcry' has been raised in the Press against frozen meat. Wc believe, however, there is no greater danger in consuming such frozen food than there is in partaking; of ordinary butcher’s meat. Most of the latter is kept much longer before consumption than is the frozen commodity before being submitted to its preservative treatment. We should he sorry if any stupid prejudice were allowed to interfere with the trade in so economical, nourishing and delicious a food as New Zealand mutton is. Ordinary butcher’s meat as well as frozen meat has before now been found guilty of ptomaine poisoning.
