LIQUEUR CHOCOLATES
The Ministry of Food, as a result of the successful prosecution
of a manufacturer of "liqueur chocolates," has been in consultation
with Associations representing chocolate and sugar confectionery
manufacturers concerning the description to be
applied to products containing a non-spirituous flavoured syrup.
It has been agreed that they should in future be described as
"Imitation liqueur chocolates (non-alcoholic)." The Ministry
suggested that food and drug authorities should allow a reasonable
time to elapse before considering proceedings in respect of
samples that may be found in their area still bearing the old
description of "liqueur chocolates."
