Public Health (Condensed Milk) Regulations, 1923.
Six formal samples of condensed full cream milk, sweetened,
one formal sample of condensed full cream milk, unsweetened,
and one formal sample of machine skimmed milk, sweetened,
were submitted for analysis. All were certified as conforming to
the required composition.
The labels in each instance complied with the requirements.
Public Health (Dried Milk) Regulations, 1923.
With the exception of the well-known proprietary brands,
very little dried milk is on sale in this Borough.
At one shop two tins of machine skimmed dried milk were
exposed for sale without the declaratory labels thereon in the
form prescribed by the above Regulations. They were obviously
very old stock, and were withdrawn from sale forthwith.
One sample of full cream dried milk was submitted for
analysis and was returned as conforming to the required composition.
Samples taken under Section 9 of the Milk and Dairies
(Consolidation) Act, 1915.
Eleven dairymen, from whom samples of milk had been
obtained, availed themselves of the provisions of Section 9, subsection
1, and the third schedule thereto, and requested this
Authority to take samples in the course of delivery or transit from
the wholesale firms supplying them.
Ten of these retail samples were in the interim certified to
be genuine, and therefore, under the circumstances, no further
action was taken, and the dairymen were so informed.
In the remaining instance, as the retail sample was considered
to be of doubtful quality before the Analyst gave his
report, a sample was taken from the wholesale firm in the course
of delivery. Both, however, were certified as genuine.
Proceedings under the Milk and Dairies (Amendment) Act, 1922.
Under Section 2, sub-section 2, an application was made to
a Court of Summary Jurisdiction for the removal from the milk
register of a purveyor of milk who had been on several occasions
previously convicted in connection with the sale of milk.
The Court granted the application, and the name of this
purveyor was forthwith removed from the register of dairymen.
Sale of Food Order, 1921.
The provisions of Part III, articles 7 and 8, that still remain in
operation, are generally being complied with by tradesmen. These
clauses refer to the labelling of imported meat and imported eggs.
Five cautions were given to tradesmen who had omitted to
carry out the requirements of the Order.
