Quotation from: General Science

Even milk is not exempt, but is doctored to prevent souring, the
preservative most generally used by milk dealers being formaldehyde.
The vast quantity of milk consumed by young and old, sick and well,
makes the use of formaldehyde a serious menace to health, because no
constitution can endure the injury done by the constant use of
preservatives.


The most popular and widely used preservatives of meats are borax and
boric acid. These chemicals not only arrest decay, but partially
restore to old and bad meat the appearance of freshness; in this way
unscrupulous dealers are able to sell to the public in one form or
other meats which may have undergone partial decomposition; sausage
frequently contains partially decomposed meat, restored as it were by
chemicals.
