"We- definitely will abide with the government's decision," said Lund.

Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare Robert H. Finch has ordered all foods and drinks which contain the artificial sweetener be removed from grocery shelves by Feb. 1. The decision was based on new evidence that the substance causes cancer in animals. Finch emphasized, however, "We have no evidence at this point that cyclamate has indeed caused cancer in humans." Lund said today an inventory had not been taken at Kantor and he didn't know how much cyclamate the company had in stock.

Charles Gray, vice president of the Charles Gray Beverage 2424 W. Court said, "We plan on stopping use of the sweetener right away." Gray said cyclamate is highly concentrated. "It's real powerful stuff and while we don't-have a huge supply of cyclamate weight-wise, we do have about a year's supply on hand," he said. Gray said his company didn't carry an inventory on the finished quantity. "I'm confident the industry will come up with a substitute very shortly," said Gray, "This is going to throw a scare into a lot of people needlessly." Stanley Mode, purchasing 'agent for" the Stoppenbach Sausage Jefferson, said his company did not use the sweetener in sugar-cured 2 Plead Innocent in Burglary Case Two more Janesville men charged with burglarizing the Black Hawk golf course clubhouse on Aug.

According to officials at Colvin's Bakery 300 E. Milwaukee the sweetener was not used in their products. The major producer of cyclamate says 15 per cent of all soft drinks sold in the United States in 1968 contained the artificial sweetener which has been banned by the federal government. Abbott Laboratories, North Chicago, which manufactured more than half the cyclamate used in this country, said Sunday it had stopped producing the sweetener "pending further The artificial sweetener has been widely used in about $1 billion worth of foodstuffs sold annually not only soft drinks but canned fruits and vegetables, ice cream, cookies, and diet mixtures. A spokesman for Pillsbury.

MinneapoUs, said the firm would replace cyclamate with' other sweeteners in its no-calorie and low-calorie lines.
