bodies. The Analysts reported that they consisted of dirty
dough containing mould growth. Warning letter sent to
baker.
Examination of another sample of bread showed that fragments
of some closely woven patterned fabric were embedded
therein. Warning letter sent to the baker concerned.
Milk. Three samples were found to be deficient in fat to the
extent of 21%, 16% and 5%. Two of these samples were
taken from the same source of supply. The matter was
reported to the farmer concerned and the Medical Officer of
Health for the area in which the farm is situated. An
assurance was given that advice had been obtained and
appropriate steps taken to improve the quality of the milk
supply. Further samples were taken and found to be satisfactory.
In the third case (5% deficient) the retailer and
farmer were informed of the result of the examination and
action was taken to improve the quality of the milk. Further
samples were found to be satisfactory.

growth attached to the side of the bottle. A warning letter
