Six samples were reported upon adversely. Two related to defects
in labelling, and representations were made to the firms concerned which
resulted in the provision of new labels.
Two traders received warnings from the Council in respect of deficiencies
in the meat content of beef sausages or beef sausage meat.
A sample of vinegar containing a small percentage of added salt
was reported upon unfavourably, but the manufacturers stated that they
held a dispensation from the Ministry of Food to add salt without
declaration.
In the remaining case, a sample of lemonade powder contained
ingredients unsuitable for children's use. The local stocks were destroyed
and, after warning, the Manufacturer altered the formula and the labels
on the new packets were amended accordingly.
