| Sample No: | Article | Result of Analysis | Action taken |
|---|---|---|---|
| 714 | Oil of Peppermint tablets B.P. | Label gives the impression that tablets are something to do with B.P. whereas they are not, "Oil of" and "tablets" not in the same size print as Peppermint B.P. Incorrectly labelled | No action. |
| 716 | Port Flavour Wine Cup | Price 5/9 printed on label and normal price should be 2/- to 2/6. Misleading label to attract quick Christmas trade in market | No action. |
| 717 | Sparkling Ginger and Rum Cup | Labelled with illustrations of grapes and grapeleaves. Contained 5.5 lbs of sugar per 10-Gallons. Contained 104 grains of saccharin per 10-gallons. Nonalcoholic wine must contain not less than Tjp-lbs. sugar per 10-gallons and if sweetened mineral water must contain more than 82 grains of saccharin per 10-gallons. | Retailer advised re label etc. |
| 735 | Cut Peel | Contained total sugars 54.5% deficient in sugar | No action |
| 772 | Chocolate Sundae | Contained equivalent of 0.28% dry fat free cocoa. 7% deficient. Principal ingredient coconut with large quantities of sugar. Not chocolate sweetmeat and doubtful if it should be called Sundae since the term Sundae is restricted almost to iced confection | Manufacturers asked to amend description of confectionery. |
