118 Report of the Medical Officer of Health for 1937.
The average composition for the whole year was as under:—
Total milk solids 12.46 %
Milk fat 3.66 %
Non-fatty solids 8.80 %
During the year four samples were submitted at the request
of ratepayers who had lodged complaints respecting them.
These consisted of two samples of Sweets, one of Jam and
one of Butter. In no case did analysis show the complaint to be
justified.
The adulteration detected during the year amounted to 1.3
per cent. of the formal samples, to 1.5 per cent. of the informal
samples and to 1.4 per cent. of all samples submitted.
We have the honour to be,
Mr. Mayor, Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servants,
A. H. M. MUTER, F.I.C.,
Public Analyst.
