CLEANING MILK CANS
The history of the American cuisine and the Public safety of the United States of America. One hundred years ago, the city of New York adopted the law of how the metal milk cans should be cleaned in the shops and the markets of the city of New York since September 1907. This was the strict sanitary code of the USA and the Secretariat of the City has just adopted the procedure of standard sanitization of the public containers of the city of New York. Containers used each day in the dairy shops, and not used by the general public of city. These were the strict hygienic and sanitary norms of the United States Of America in 1907. The law is older than the WW1.
The Retail Confectioners Protective Association of the State of New York has issued the following notice with reference to the new section of the penal code anent cleaning milk cans:
Presenting below the original text, signed by the Secretary of the Department Of Public Health of The City Of New York:
