It will be noted that adverse reports were received on 4
samples and the following is a summary of the action taken.
Cambridge Sausages.
The Public Analyst stated that the meat content (including fat)
of this sausage was 61 per cent and observed that Cambridge
Sausages are high quality pork sausages, the meat of which consists
of pork with a little veal. He further stated that pork sausages
of ordinary commercial quality contain not less than 65 per cent
of meat and in his opinion, Cambridge Sausages should contain
at least this proportion.
In view of a recent High Court decision on an appeal against
the dismissal by Justices of a similar case, no further action was
taken.
Scotch Butter Shortbread.
The constituents of this sample included 10% butter with a
total fat content, including butter fat, of 25 per cent.
The Public Analyst observed that the article contained only
one half of the proportion of butter claimed in the statement
printed on the label.
