Contravention of Section 2 of the Food and Drugs Act 1955.
The Council issued a summons against a multiple Dairy Company
with regard to the presence of five milk bottle caps and specks
of lacquer in a half pint of milk.
At the hearing before Stratford Justices the summons was dismissed.
The Justices did not award any costs, the reason for the
dismissal was on the judgment given in the case of Reginald Thomas
Edwards v Llaethdy Meirion Limited, where the Court found that the
milk had not been in contact with the metal containers which
remained untouched, and therefore the nature and substance and
quality of the milk had not been altered.

Biscuit Alliar Ltd., when it was felt that the circumstances were
such that an reement to issue a new form of label would achieve
the most satis tory result.
