Section 22 – 4-H Food and Nutrition

Exhibits should portray base requirements as outlined in specific 4-H projects.
Canned foods judged on quality, general appearance, and container.
Use two-piece self-sealing lids (flat discs and metal screw bands) for sealing all jars of food.
Use standard mason-type, clear quart/pint glass jars for preserving and exhibiting fruits, vegetables and meats.
Self-sealing two piece lids required for sealing all jars of jelly, jam and preserves in place of wax seals. No wax seals permitted. Standard half pint to be used.
Metal screw bands may be loosely applied while transporting jars to and from the fair to prevent damage. Screw bands must be removed from jars before exhibiting entries.
All food not in standard jars or not sealed with self-sealing lids will be disqualified by the judge.
