The use of artificial color on potatoes conceals damage or inferiority and makes the product appear to be of higher value or grade than the uncolored product. The condition cannot be corrected by labeling, therefore on and after March 11, 1957, any artificially colored potatoes found on the market will be placed under seizure and the distribution will be subject to the penalties of the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act.
