The use of saccharin, dulcin, sucrol, garantose, Heyden sugar crystals, glucin, or any of the coal-tar sweeteners is prohibited. The use of sulphurous acid or any of its salts, either as a bleach or preservative, is prohibited. The use of any antiseptic or preservative substances except salt, saltpeter, sucrose, vinegar, and spices, is prohibited, except that not to exceed one tenth of 1 per cent of benzoate of soda may for the present season be used in packing tomato catsup and bulk sweet pickles. The use of starch or other filler is prohibited. The use of artificial coloring or bleach is prohibited.

The use of saccharin, dulcin, sucrol, garantose, Heyden sugar crystals, glucin, or any other coal-tar sweeteners in ginger ale, bottled soda, pop, cider, fruit juices, or any other preparations intended to be used as food or drink, is prohibited.
