Sample No.	Article	Nature of Adulteration and/or irregularity	Action Taken
733	Prepared Mustard	Contained benzoic acid, 350 parts per million, an added preservative not permitted in this article by the Preservatives in Food Regulations.	This product is manufactured in Austria. The importer has been informed of the infringement and requested to convey the comments of the Public Analyst to the Manufacturer.
785	Creamed Potatoes	The sample contained no cream or milk. The description "Creamed Potatoes" and the illustration on the label of what appeared to be a jug of cream surrounded by potatoes is, in the Public Analyst's opinion, calculated to be misleading when applied to a powder that contained no cream and was not even of a creamy consistency.	Manufacturer has agreed to suitably amend the present pictorial label on the packet.
800	Chopped Pork, Canned	Contained meat 88%. In the Public Analyst's opinion Canned Chopped Pork should contain at least 95% of meat.	Manufacturer advised of the forth— coming introduction of compositional standards for Chopped Pork.
819	T otato Juice Cocktail, Canned	Contained tin, 290 parts per million. The inside of the can had been attacked and the proportion of tin in the sample is excessive.	The Company retailing the product when informed of Public Analyst's Report withdrew remaining stocks from sale which were subsequently surrendered and destroyed.
837	Viennois Cham-bourcy (Dessert)	Consisted of a prepared dessert, inadequately labelled in French.	Distributor of product asked to acquaint Manufacturer of the necessity to include on the label a list of the ingredients contained in the product in English.
