whether each of the vessels containing the Cream was duly labelled
"Preserved Cream containing Boric Acid," since the 6 samples
of Cream contained fat varying from 38 to 49 per cent. by weight
and Boric Acid varying from 0.18 per cent. to 0.35 per cent.
Boric Acid was the only preservative employed. No thickening
substances were found to be added to the samples of Cream
examined; such addition is now made illegal by the above
Regulations.
Whereas it seems that in future the observance of the Regulations,
in so far as they relate to Milk, can generally be tested
by the ordinary operation of the sampling and analyses under the
Sale of Food and Drugs Acts, it will be well to provide for the
taking of a few further samples of Cream under the Regulations,
and to submit these to the particular partial analyses which the
circumstances seem to demand, in order to learn whether the
Regulations are being carried out. There is extremely little fresh
Cream sold in Stoke Newington.
