Copy of letter circulated amongst traders.

To whom it may concern.
Milk and Cream Regulations, 1912.
At a meeting of the Public Health Committee, held
on Wednesday, the 10th instant, the matter of the Milk
and Cream Regulations, dated August 1st, 1912, was considered
by the Authority.
As you are probably aware, these Regulations prohibit
any preservative whatever in cream containing less than
35 per cent, of fat, and in cream containing a higher
percentage of fat, restrict the quantity of Boric Acid,
or other similar preservative, which may be added to
cream, and require that cream containing such boron,
or other similar preservative, shall only be sold or exposed
for sale with labels attached, and with notice to the purchaser;
and makes various requirements respecting the
sale of preserved cream.
The Committee wish all members of the trade in this
Borough to be aware of the fact that these Regulations are
now in force, and I am directed to add for the information
of all such members of the trade, and others concerned,
that in their own interest the Committee trust that the
Regulations referred to will be strictly observed.
This notice is given for the protection of Dairymen
and others, as it is intended that the Regulations above
referred to shall be strictly enforced.
By order of the Public Health Committee,
JOHN FOOT,
Chief Inspector.
