Labelling of Food
The greatest number of offences under this heading occurred in respect of the
absence of lists of, or wrongly listed, ingredients on packets or containers of prepacked
foodstuffs having two or more ingredients. Containers of Goat's Milk Yoghourt, Fruit
Salad, Mangoli, Preserved Apples, Exquis Neige (Dessert) and Creamed Tuna were all
deficient in this respect.
With regard to a can of Creamed Tuna it was felt the description was not appropriate
in respect of a product which consisted, in the main, of flaked fish.
A dessert consisted of a medium fat soft cheese and strawberry jam. The list of
ingredients appeared in very small black print on a dark coloured foil cap and was almost
impossible to read. The cheese used was stated to be low-fat and not medium-fat as
reported by the Council's Analyst. The cap of the carton has now been re-designed.
A West Indian fruit preserve was found to be free of any significant proportion of
fat and was misdescribed as "Guava Cheese"
It was pointed out to the manufacturers of a Strawberry Yoghourt containing only
0.1 per cent of fat that it should be described as a low-fat yoghourt.
