Sample No.	Article	Nature of Adulteration and/ or irregularity	Action Taken
TT.71	Apple Turnover Mix	The packet of apple filling contained sulphur dioxide, 40 parts per million, the presence of which was not disclosed on the label.	The comments of the Public Analyst have been drawn to the attention of the distributors. In reply the firm in question has advised that arrangements are now in hand to reprint the labels on which will be included the missing ingredients.
TT.91	Pure Vegetable Ghee	An unsuitable description, since the product was not a form of ghee but a substitute made from hardened vegetable oils. No declaration of ingredients appeared on the label.	The distributor's attention has been drawn to the Public Analyst's comments and their observations have been requested on the suggestion that the product in future be labelled "Ghee Substitute".
TT.106	Ground Groundnuts	Contained Aflatoxin, the Toxicity Category as defined by the Tropical Products Institute being low.	In view of the ruling made by the Ministry of Health that low toxicity aflatoxin is allowed for human consumption, no further action in respect of the commodity sampled is contemplated.
TT.107	Flaked Peanuts	Contained Aflatoxin, the Toxicity Category as defined by the Tropical Products Institute being low.	As above.
TT.108	Flaked Peanuts	Contained Aflatoxin, the Toxicity Category as defined by the Tropical Products Institute being medium.	The report of the Public Analyst on the sample was drawn to the attention of the importers and as a result the consignment was exported back to country of origin.
