30th September, 1893.
To the Members of the Board of Works for the Poplar District.
Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen,
I beg to report that during the last quarter I analysed
72 samples, all of which were purchased and submitted to me by
your Sanitary Inspectors.
This number includes the following articles, viz., 48 milks, 12
butters and 12 breads.
Of the milks, 39 were genuine and mostly of excellent quality,
8 were adulterated with water, the amount found being 6, 7, 10, 18,
19, 21, 29 and 29 per cent. respectively and 1 deficient in cream to
the extent of 84 per cent.
Of the butters, 11 were genuine and 1 adulterated with 57 per
cent. of foreign fat.
The breads were all unadulterated.
