The Public Analyst reported that these were samples of a
minced meat and cereal product containing onion and other
flavouring and seasoning, together with added gravy and that the
total meat content of the whole article amounted to 60% and 51%
respectively.
In his opinion, as judged by the low overall meat content, and
the presence of added gravy, this article was not entitled to the
description Cambridge Steaks without qualification.
The Public Analyst suggested that at least "with gravy" should
be added to the description and representations were made to the
Manufacturers accordingly with satisfactory results.
