Tinned Cream.
Following the radio and press warnings to the public not to consume a
certain brand of tinned cream pending further investigations, it was found
that an Edmonton shopkeeper had a stock of this cream. As some of the
cream had probably been sold, steps were taken to warn the Edmonton
public. Later, information was received from the Ministry of Health with
regard to the batch numbers of cream which might justifiably be regarded as
unfit for human consumption. None of the tins brought to the Public
Health Department bore the respective numbers and were therefore returned
to the retailers.
