same restrictions as are directed by this Act, and the Margarine
Act as to margarine.
Section 6 enacts that packages containing margarine or margarinecheese
shall be marked or branded on the package itself, and not
on a removable label, &c.; also that paper wrappers containing
margarine shall have no other printed matter than the word
"Margarine," and that this word must be in letters half an inch
long, instead of letters a quarter of an inch square, as directed
by the Margarine Act. The same regulations apply to the
wrappers used for margarine-cheese.
Section 7 requires that the owner or occupier of all premises which
are used for the business of a manufacturer or wholesale dealer
in margarine or margarine-cheese shall register the premises with
the Local Authority. Each manufacturer and wholesale dealer
must keep a register showing the quantity and destinations of
each consignment of margarine and margarine-cheese sent out
from his premises. Power is given to officers of the Board of
Agriculture to examine this register, to inspect any process of
manufacture, and to take samples for analysis.
Section 8 prohibits the manufacture, importation, or sale of any
margarine, the fat of which contains more than 10 per cent. of
butter fat.
Section 9 orders every vehicle or can used for the sale of milk or
cream in the streets to have the owner's name and address
conspicuously inscribed on it.
Section 11 requires that condensed separated or skimmed milk shall
be labelled in large and legible type, "Machine-skimmed milk,"
or " Skimmed Milk," as the case may be.
Section 12 specifies that the labels put on mixtures, such as coffee
and chicory, shall not be obscured by other printed matter.
Section 14 gives power to Inspectors, with the consent of the purhaser
or consignee, to take samples of foods in the course of
delivery in the same way as samples of milk can now be taken.
Section 16 gives power to magistrates to inflict fines varying from
£20 to £100 for obstructing or attempting to bribe a Food and
Drugs Inspector.
