Fat over 3.3 ,, ,, 3.8 ,, —Fair ,,
,, 3.8 ,, —Good ,,

Condensed Milk.
Nineteen condensed milks were examined for compliance
or otherwise with the requirements of the Condensed Milk
Regulations. All were found to fulfil these requirements,
both in respect of composition and of volume of milk yielded
on dilution according to the statements on the tins.
Eight were sold as full cream and 11 as skimmed condensed
milk.
Cream and Cream Confectioner?.
Four samples of cream and eight of tinned cream were
analysed during the year and all of these proved to be
genuine. Two of the creams were sold as " half-price "
cream and '' coffee '' cream and were found to contain only
24.0 per cent, and 24.7 per cent, respectively of fat.
