Serial No. 4004
(g) Two Cream Doughnuts Composition: The fat in the "cream" filling of the doughnuts was not butter fat.	Contact with vendors. Satisfactory notice now exhibited.

Serial No. 4057
(q) Super Concentrated Orange Squash Composition: The description, "super concentrated", and the claim that an eight-fold dilution was appropriate implied that the squash was stronger than a normal squash, but this did not appear justified as the juice content was 32 per cent as opposed to 40 per cent implied by the claim.	Complies with Soft Drink Regulations. Referred to Weights and Measures Department for action on labelling under the Trades Description Act. They have contacted the manufacturers.
