108 Report of the Medical Officer of Health for 1934.
The average composition of the 941 samples of Milk, returned as genuine, during the year was:—
| Total milk solids | 12.38 % |
| Milk fat | 3.59 % |
| Non-fatty solids | 8.77 % |
Included in this report are five informal samples, two of Cocoa,
and one each of "Lemon Extra," Grape juice and Milk, which
were submitted at the request of rate-payers from whom complaints
respecting them had been received. In no case was any deleterious
ingredient found and the samples were, therefore, reported as being
genuine.
All samples mentioned in this report were submitted by the
Council's Food Inspector.
We have the honour to be,
Mr. Mayor, Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servants,
A. H. M. MUTER, F.I.C., F.C.S.
Public Analyst.
