Twenty formal samples of milk were purchased from roundsmen in the City area and all proved
to be satisfactory.
It was not found necessary to initiate legal action in respect of any of the samples referred
to above, but as the result of complaints made direct to this Department by members of the public,
legal proceedings were instituted in six cases in respect of articles of food which were either
unfit for human consumption, or alternatively contained some extraneous material. The resultant
fines and costs totalled £l48.0s.0d.
