Of the above mentioned samples two were reported as being unsatisfactory
viz: one sample of Pork Sausages, and one sample of
Spirit of Sal-Volatile.
pork sausages
A sample of pork sausages was found to contain preservative within
the permitted limit but no declaration was made at the time of sale
of its presence. This provision of the Preservatives in Food Regulations
1962 is normally complied with by the exhibiting of a easily readable
notice in a conspicuous place in the shop but unfortunately such
notices are often mislaid by shopkeepers. A warning letter was sent
in this instance.
spirit of sal-volatile
In this particular sample the full ammonia was considerably below
the minimum figure required by the British Pharmaceutical Codex and
should have been described as "Spirit of Sal-Volatile B.P.C," and not
" B.P."
