Public Health (Preservatives, Etc., in Food) Regulations, 1925.
The Minister of Health has forwarded a copy of these Regulations, which are based on
the recommendations of the receut Departmental Committee on the use of preservatives and
colouring matter in food.
As the Regulations do not come into force until January 1st, 1927, they have doubtless
been issued to enable the various traders concerned to dispose of existing stocks which contain
preservatives, and also to give time in which to introduce improved methods in order to render
the use of preservatives unnecessary.
