Milk
" Samples of new milk were taken from chums consigned by
a dairy farmer to a milk processing depot in your district. 14 of
these samples were slightly below the presumptive standard for
composition, some having a slight deficiency of milk fat, some of
milk solids not fat, and some deficient in both respects. As these
deficiencies were slight and as samples taken from other churns of
milk from this same source were quite satisfactory no further
action was taken.
" The two samples of hot milk shown as unsatisfactory were
both obtained from a cafe in your area; each was slightly deficient
in milk solids other than fat and an official caution was sent to
the vendor.
