A composition for degrading foodstuffs which consists essentially of the following components in the percent by weight indicated: (a) a physiological agent selected from the group consisting of a podophyllum resin, croton oil, emetine hydrochloride, ergot, ergonovine maleate, ergotamine tartrate and d-Lysergic acid diethylamide and a mixture thereof, in an amount in the range of about 1 to 50 percent, (b) benzyl diethyl ammonium benzoate in an amount in the range of about 5 to 20 percent, (c) a malodorant selected from the group consisting of a mercaptan and a fatty acid having a chain of about 5 to 12 carbon atoms in an amount in the range of 0.0 to 5.0 percent, (d) a dye selected from the group consisting of fuchsin, methylene blue, indigo carmine and calco red in an amount in the range of 0.5 to 5.0 percent, and (e) a solvent vehicle in an amount in the range of 50 to 90 percent.
