Of the above samples, the following were certified by the
Public Analyst to be unsatisfactory:—
Bread.—This sample was found to contain the foetus of a rat
cr mouse and was therefore unfit for human consumption. This
particular sample was submitted by an Officer of your Authority.
Non-Brewed Vinegar.—Two samples were found to be deficient
in acetic acid to the extent respectively of 30% and 12% of the
minimum quantity of 4 per cent, proper to vinegar. Proceedings
were instituted against the wholesale supplier who was fined
£2 0s. 0d. and ordered to pay £1 6s. 0d. costs.
Soft Roe.—This sample was submitted as "Soft Roe," but in
the opinion of the Analyst it was considered to consist of a foodstuff
commonly known as "Chitterlings."
On investigation it was found that some confusion existed in
the trade as to what article the description "Chitterlings" refers.
