At six butchers' shops imported meat was exposed for sale
without the necessary notice being exhibited denoting that the
meat was imported. In each case the requirements of the Order
were explained to the tradesmen and a caution given. The Order
is generally being complied with, although in the case of imported
eggs the fact must be again emphasised that there is still a
practice on the part of many shopkeepers to partly obscure either
the word "Imported" or the words denoting the country of
origin on the tickets, or to have them written in very small letters,
while the words " new laid " or " fresh " are boldly shown.
