Food and Drugs Act, 1938.
The number of samples taken for analysis under the provisions
of this Act from 1st January to the 31st December was 240.
The range of samples taken covered a wide field; and, as far
as possible, every effort was made to discover any possible offence
under the Act or Ministry Regulations and Orders.
It is pleasing to be able to report that the results of the analyses
were generally satisfactory, there being only five cases in which
the reports were adverse.
