Food and Drugs Acts.
Under the Sale of Food and Drugs Acts, 105 samples were procured
and submitted to analyses.
Two were found to be adulterated, necessitating legal proceedings
being taken against the vendors.
Milk.—Deficient in fat and solids not fat to the extent of 11.6 and
10.5 per cent. respectively. Vendor fined 10s. and 23s. costs.
Milk.—Deficient in fat and solids not fat to the extent of 13 and 30.4
per cent. respectively. Vendor fined 20s., including costs.
It was noticeable that during the year 1913 the samples of milk
and butter analysed were all free from boric acid or other preservative,
but the practice of using preservative so far as butter and margarine are
concerned was reverted to during the year 1914, and its use further
extended during the past year.
