Jelly Fruit Salad
This sample consisted of a complete table sweet in a can,
comprising water, sugar, gelatine and various fruits and flavouring,
which failed to set to a firm jelly sweet when cooled to and maintained
at 16°C.
Representations were made to the manufacturer concerned
and the product was withdrawn from the market pending a full
investigation of the complaint.
Hot Milk
This sample contained 44 per cent added water, but in view
of all the circumstances, it was considered that a warning letter
would meet the case.
Meringues
This sample was contaminated with particles of rust or oxide
of iron, from the appearance of which they could have been particles
of scale picked up on the under surface of the meringues
from the baking sheet.
Action was taken in the bakery concerned to prevent a recurrence.
