FRUIT AND CAUSTIC SODA
Sir,-In reply to my letter on the above subject (Listener, July 16) is this comment from the Health Department -‘It is a fact that in commercial canning processes many fruits are dipped in a weak caustic,soda solution to blanch them, or remove the skin. This is a carefully regulated process." Now, however carefully regulated the process may be, if the caustic soda is sufficiently strong to blanch the fruit or remove the skin some must enter the pulp and so be injurious to the health of the person who eats that fruit. Surely we can avoid the use of such a dangerous corrosive poison as Ccaustie soda in the canning of fruit.
