Appended at the end of this Food Section is a table listing all
the samples reported upon as being "non genuine" and giving the
administrative action taken in respect of each unsatisfactory sample.
Pharmacy and Medicines Act, 1941—Three samples were
taken for analysis, one each of Cough Syrup, Cough Linctus and
Vitamin Tablets both of which complied with the provisions of the
above Act.
Public Health (Dried Milk) Regulations, 1923 to 1948.—
These Regulations control the minimum milk-fat content of dried
milk and the labelling of tins or other receptacles in which this
commodity is contained.
One sample was obtained during the current year which proved
to be satisfactory.
The Condensed Milk Regulations, 1959.—In addition to
minimum percentages of milk-fat and milk-solids of condensed
milk, the standards of labelling of receptacles are covered under
the provisions of these Regulations.
Nine samples of condensed milk were taken in the normal
course of sampling, all of which were declared to be genuine.
Other Food Examinations.—In addition to those obtained
under the Food and Drugs Act, other articles not procured in the
normal course of sampling were examined either by the Public
Analyst or at the Public Health Service Laboratory. These
examinations were the outcome of complaints from members of the
public or as a result of special investigations into certain foods
carried out by the Food Inspectors or as the "follow-up" to
renorted food noisonine cases.
