Sample No.	Article	Nature of Adulteration and/or irregularity	Action Taken
408	Whipped Creamy Chocolate	Contained milk fat, less than 0.1%. Since the drink appears to contain no sig-nificant quantity of whipped cream, nor of any other form of cream, the descrip-tion "Whipped Creamy Chocolate" is in the Public Analyst's opinion calculated to be misleading.	The supplier of the ingredients to make this drink has now been replaced by another supplier. Further samples to be taken.
424	Onion Cubes	The sample did not consist wholly of onion but of a compressed mixture of cornflour, rusk, salt and flavouring with a small proportion of dehydrated onion powder.	Manufacturers agreed to re-name the product.
425	Mushroom Cubes	The cubes did not consist wholly of mushroom but of a compressed mixture of cornflour, rusk, salt and flavourings with only a small proportion of dehydrated mushroom powder.	Manufacturers agreed to re-name the product.
499	Whipped Creamy Chocolate	Contained milk fat, less than 0.02%. Since the drink contains no whipped cream, nor any other form of cream, the description was considered misleading.	The supplier of the Ingredients to make this drink has now been replaced by another supplier. Further samples to be taken.
