Nine formal samples of cream were taken, in all
of which boric acid was found to be present, the
percentages being 0.24, 0.25, 0.26, 0.285, 0.3, 0.31,
0.35, 0.4 and 0.4.
One informal sample of cream was found to be
genuine.
With regard to the formal samples, in 7 cases
the cream was delivered to the purchaser in a receptacle
which did not bear a proper declaratory label.
In the remaining two cases a proper declaratory label
was present.
Five of the vendors were prosecuted for the absence
of a declaratory label (see page 47), and in two
cases the vendors were also prosecuted for depositing
for sale cream which was not labelled in accordance
with the Regulations.
In no case was the percentage of boric acid found
to be in excess of the permissible amount.
"APPEAL TO COW" SAMPLES.
No samples of milk were taken direct from the
cow in 1922, as the occasion did not arise for taking
such samples.
