Article	Nature of Adulteration or Deficiency	Remarks
Sweet & Sour Sauce	The ingredients of this article as specified on the label included "other seasonings" which is a generic and not a specific description as required by the Labelling of Food Order, 1953.	New label introduced.
Milk Bread (3 samples)	All three samples had been made with skimmed milk powder and were not entitled to the description of "Milk Bread*.	Manufacturers warned.
Calamine Cream	The Analyst's opinion of this article as Calamine Cream implies that it is of B.P.C. standard, whereas it contains far more calamine and zinc oxide than the B.P.C. preparation and is made according to a very difference formula.	New label being introduced by Manufacturers.
Vintage Brandy Marmalade	This was a sample of Marmalade containing alcohol. In the opinion of the Analyst the description of the article was not satisfactory and suggested either "Marmalade with Brandy* or "Marmalade flavoured with Brandy".	New label introduced by Manufacturers.
Buttermilk.	This sample was of Cultured skimmed milk and was an artificial buttermilk and the description under which it was sold was misleading.	After further enquiries were made it was decided that no further action be taken.
Evaporated Fruit Salad	This sample contained Sulphur Dioxide of 405 parts per million by weight and being a constituent of one or more of the dried fruits present, it should have been listed as one of the ingredients.	New label introduced to include with sulphur dioxide.
Savlamar Red Beans in West Indian Sauce	As this article of food contains more than two ingredients, the label should bear the list of ingredients.	New label introduced.
Ham Mornay	In the opinion of the Analyst the meat content of an article described as Ham Mornay - Ham with spaghetti in cheese sauce should not be less than 35 per cent, whereas this sample only contained 22 per cent.	It is anticipated that new regulations may be introduced to cover this in future
Buttered Rolls	Consisted of Bread Rolls and Margarine.	Vendor Prosecuted.
