each portion of meat or each Container or Package of Meat unless the
meat is marked as on importation.
3. In the case of Frozen Beef and Frozen Veal, the requirement is
similar to that last mentioned.
Tray, Slab or Rail.—Where a tray, slab or rail contains either only
joints or cuts of imported meat of Empire origin or only joints or cuts
of imported meat of foreign origin, the following is sufficient : —
A ticket or label bearing the indication of origin prominently displayed
on such tray, slab or rail, clearly visible to intending purchasers and
adequately identifying the meat to which it applies.
Where only Imported Meat is Sold.—Where only imported meat
of Empire origin is sold in a shop, the Order may be complied with by
displaying prominently in the shop two notices each not less than two feet
square clearly visible to intending purchasers and adequately identifying
the meat, bearing the words: "All meat in this shop is imported meat of
Empire origin," in letters not less than two inches in height.
Similarly, if only imported meat of foreign origin is sold then the
Order may be complied with by two like size notices bearing the words:
"All Meat in this shop is imported meat of Foreign origin," in letters of
not less than two inches in height.
Delivery.—In the case of meat sent out for delivery which when
exposed for sale would need labelling as above mentioned, the indication
of origin must be clearly and conspicuously stated on an invoice or delivery
note attached to or accompanying the meat.
This is not necessary where meat is sold to a purchaser who is
present at the time of the sale at the shop, provided the meat was properly
marked when exposed for sale.
Edible Offals.—Edible Offals, whether fresh, chilled or frozen, of
carcases of cattle, sheep and pigs, means livers, lungs, melts or spleen,
skirts, tails, hearts, kidneys, sweetbreads, tongues, tripe and heads (including
cheeks and brains).
Note.—This notice does not purport to deal with the whole effect of
the above Orders or the Act, but is intended as a guide to
those responsible to observe their requirements.
