a shop in the borough. The manufacturer stated that the product was
sold under the name "Creamery Spread". The Public Analyst reported that
the sample had a fat content of 41% and was not "Cream Cheese". Further
samples were purchased from the same shop when the owner stated that the
sample was "Creamery Cheese". A letter submitted by the owner of the
shop stated that he had sold this product for the last fourteen years as
Cream Cheese and had only just been informed by the manufacturer that
it was "Creamery Spread".
A warning letter was sent to the owner of the shop.
(iii) Creamery Cheese
The Public Analyst reported that the fat content of the samples of
"Superb Creamery Cheese" was below the acceptable standard, viz: 21.7%
deficient in milk fat. It appeared, however, that the product being
described as "creamery" and not "cream" cheese, might make it difficult
to show that the standard applied and no further action was taken.
(iv) Milk
One sample of Kedassia milk was deficient in fat, but a further
sample taken proved satisfactory.
(v) Potato Puffs
The labelling of the sample of potato puffs did not conform with the
requirements of section 4 of the Labelling of Food Order 1953. On a
formal sample being taken a new type of pack was being used which conformed
with the Order, and a warning letter was sent to the manufacturer.
