28 cautions were issued, the attention of the vendors was called to the
report of the Analyst in 20 instances, and no action was taken
with regard to 74 samples which deviated slightly from the standard or
were test purchases not taken officially.
There were 82 non.official samples purchased during the year.
Milk.—894 samples of ordinary milk were taken during the year.
The Analysts have graded the samples submitted to them into four
groups:—Good quality, in which the fat was over 3.8 per cent.; fair
quality, in which the fat was between 3.3 and 3.8 per cent.; and
poor or inferior quality, in which the fat was between 3 per cent, (the
official standard) and 3.3 per cent., or in which the non.fatty solids
were between 8.5 and 8.6 (if the fat was also below 3.8). Adulterated
are those below the official standard of 3 per cent, for fat and 8.5 for
solids not fat.
