A sample of preserved cream (No. 445) was taken in the course of delivery
from the same wholesale firm as supplied Sample No. 474, and who also supplied
the vendors of Samples Nos. 230 and 411 (see Table 6).
This cream was delivered in a four-quart can that had embossed on one side
the words "This Cream contains Preservative," but did not bear any declaratory
label as required by the Regulations. Upon analysis the cream was found to
contain Boric Acid 0-48 per cent., which exceeds the amount allowed by the Regulations.
The Public Health Committee gave instructions for a summons to be
issued against the vendor for delivering preserved cream in a receptacle unlabelled.
This was dismissed under the Probation Act, the defendant being ordered to pay
£3 3s. costs.
