Nature of Unsatisfactory Sample		Remarks
	Serial No. 2599
(h)	Battenburg Cake Composition: The foreign b0dy from the coating of the cake was an aluminium fragment weighing 0.32g and approximately 8 mm. in diameter.	Matter investigated. Warning letter to Baker.
	Serial No. 2616
(j)	Rock Composition: Embedded in the rock was a length of iron wire approximately 3" in length. This wire was coated with plastic in part and formed into a loop, part of which was embedded in the rock in such a way as to indicate that it gained access during manufacture. The wire was 0.017" in diameter.	Legal proceedings. Manufacturers fined £15 with £7 12s. 3d. costs.
	Serial No. 2740
(k)	Stout Composition: The composition stopper of the bottle and rubber washer were the source of contamination. Phenolic b0dies which were present suggested the prior use of the stopper in a bottle containing a disinfectant fluid.	Warning letter to Bottlers after investigation.
	Serial No. 2710
(1)	Vinegar Composition: The sample which declared the addition of salt contained only a very insignificant trace.	Correspondence with Manufacturers. Re-labelling to omit the word "salt".
	Serial No. 2738
(m) Cooking Fat Composition: Antioxidants were not detected although Butylated Hydroxyanisole was declared.		Correspondence with Manufacturers. Re-labelling to omit antioxidants.
	Serial No. 2634
(n)	Chocolate Christmas Decorations Composition: One of the decorations was described as milk chocolate but lacked butter fat although it contained milk solids and should not, therefore, have been described as milk chocolate.	Correspondence with Manufacturers.
	Serial No. 2633
(n)	Chocolate Christmas Decorations Composition: Insufficient milk fat present to warrant the description milk chocolate. The ratio between the butter fat and non-fatty milk solids indicated that the chocolate was pr0duced with a mixture of full-cream milk and non-fat milk.	Correspondence with Manufacturers.
