The problems confronting the dairy companies remain as great as ever, and it is a
fact that a number of the complaints are the result of thoughtlessness on the part of the
customer who previously received milk in the particular bottle. Notes containing messages
for the milk roundsman and metal caps pushed into the bottle are the two greatest offenders
in this respect and it would be a great help to all concerned if notes left for the milk roundsman
were placed under the empty bottle rather than in the neck.
The growing mechanization of the food industry increases the risk of contamination of
foodstuffs with oil and grease from moving parts, and the inclusion of the occasional loose
nut or washer still gives rise to complaints in spite of the care taken by the industry to
avoid such possibilities.
The complaints relating to the presence of insects were largely in cans of vegetables
or fruits. Here again it is known that all the well known canners go to great lengths to
avoid such incidents.
