MERCHANDISE MARKS ACT, 1926
At the time of inspection of foodstuffs on importation, and in
shops and on street stalls, attention has been given to the requirements
relating to Indication of Origin. Most products to which the
Act applies, including meat, oat products, and dried fruit appear to
have been satisfactorily marked. There have been occasions when the
vendors have had to be requested to indicate the origin of tomatoes
and apples, but legal proceedings have not been necessary.
