Of the six irregular milk samples, five were in respect of samples of hot milk.
Two of these, both from the one Vendor, were deficient in solids- not fat but contained
no added water whilst a further two samples, again both from one Vendor, were
deficient in fat. These cases were dealt with by verbal warnings to the vendors concerned,
The other hot milk sample was deficient in fat but no action was taken,
since an associated sample was genuine. The remaining irregular sample concerned a
bottle of milk deficient in fat to an extent not sufficient to warrant immediate
action.
