Sumario:The work studies the quality of the food and the participation of the state in said food, in Córdoba city between 1915 and 1930. According to the liberal order, as that in force, among those centuries in this city the welfare was, above all, an individual responsibility. The liberal urban police state should ensure the physical and patrimonial security of the citizens as one of their missions of prime importance and by extention, they should also give sanitary guarantees. In a large overall view this obligation became stronger in thatperi- od due to the general extent of the social divition of work that kept away the producer from the consumer society. The state took control of the protection of interests of the citizens, at the same time consumers, who were the weakest part of the triptiych set up with regard to food supply of the city, formed by the state, the consummers and foodstaff producers and sellers. The state determined the basic regulations of the market and it became a proofreader agent of its functioning, limiting the selfish presure of the mercantile agents.
