The following information is given respecting the samples which were
reported to be adulterated, but in respect of which legal proceedings were not
taken:—
Milk.—Warning letters were sent to the vendors in two cases where the
deficiency in fat was small. In one of these the sale of milk from the shop
concerned was discontinued.
Mustard.—In one case the vendor was protected by a declaration on the
container in which the mustard was sold. In two cases the samples were
imported products, and correspondence ensued with the Consul-General of the
country of export with a view to the matter being brought to the notice of the
exporter and the food authority of the country concerned.
Sausages.—The vendor in this case was able to establish evidence that the
sausages were sold subject to a notice exhibited in the shop disclosing the
presence of preservative.
Vinegar.—This case was met by correspondence with the producer of the
vinegar.
