ADULTERATION OF FOOD AND DRUGS.
During the year 1,132 samples of foods and drugs, including 420 informal
samples, were submitted for analysis by Mr. Green, the Food and Drugs Inspector,
who purchased the samples for submission to our Analyst, Dr. Alan W. Stewart.
Of the total samples 1,090 were reported to be genuine and 42 adulterated, or
3.8 per cent. This percentage is 5.8 below the previous year, and 3.4 below the
average rate during the preceding 10 years.
(In addition to this work, the Inspector paid 101 visits to premises, under
Merchandise Marks Act.)
During the year 1930 in addition to the samples taken and submitted to the
Public Analyst there was a total of 846 informal samples which were examined by
the Food and Drugs Inspector. These informal samples comprised a number of
varied articles.

Table: The greatest amount of detected adulteration occurred in the third quarter of the year, as shown by the figures given in the statement below, when it was4.3per cent, and contrasted with3.9, 2.7and3.7per cent., respectively, in the first, second and fourth quarters.
