EXAMINATION OF MILK SUPPLIED TO L.C.C. SCHOOLS
AND DAY NURSERIES.
Samples of milk were taken from supplies delivered to local schools and
day nurseries and submitted for chemical analysis, methylene blue and
phosphatase tests. All were found to conform to the required standards.
BACTERIOLOGICAL SAMPLING OF MILK.
17 samples of pasteurised milk were submitted for phosphatase and
methylene blue tests. All samples conformed to the prescribed standard.
CONDENSED MILK REGULATIONS.
14 samples of condensed milk were submitted for analysis under the
above regulations and the composition was found to be satisfactory in all
cases. The labels of two samples contravened the regulations in that the
statutory declaration was in one case printed too small, and in the other
case printed in the wrong colour. Letters were sent to the canners.
