AGRICULTURAL PRODUCE (GRADING & MARKING) ACTS, 1928-1931
Regulations made under these Acts prescribe designations referred to as "Grade designations"
indicating the quality of certain articles of agricultural or fishery produce. Such regulations contain
definitions of the quality indicated by every "grade designation" thereby prescribed and
specify a "grade designation mark" to represent each "grade designation".
The Acts also stipulate that all "preserved" eggs shall be so marked before being offered
for sale and that all premises used for the cold storage or chemical storage of eggs shall be
registered with the local authority. There are no firms so registered in the City of London. No
difficulty was experienced in the administration of these Acts.
MERCHANDISE MARKS ACT, 1926
This Act prohibits the importation of certain foodstuffs unless they bear marks indicating
