Sale of Food Order, 1921—This Order placed upon local authorities certain duties in
regard to—
(1) the sale of bread and tea by weight.
(2) the labelling of imported produce.
(3) the composition of jam and marmalade, dripping, margarine, and other edible fats.
The provisions of that part of the Order dealing with the sale of bread and tea by weight are
administered by the London County Council, but the Borough Council are required to enforce
the remaining sections of the Order.
Since this Order was published an Amending Order has been issued, which cancels certain
sections of the original, with the result that the only part to be enforced by the Borough
Council is that which relates to the labelling of imported produce (lard excepted).
A further Amending Order, dated September 1st, 1922, removes bacon and ham from the list
of imported foods which must not be exposed for sale by retail unless they bear a label containing
the word " Imported " in letters easily readable by customers.
Under the Expiring Laws Act, 1925, the Order, with the amendments above indicated, is
continued in force until December, 1926.
No infringements of the Order were noted during the year.
Food Poisoning. - No instance of food poisoning was brought to my notice during the year
