PUBLIC HEALTH (CONDENSED MILK)
REGULATIONS, 1923.
These regulations provide a standard for condensed milk
and lay down the conditions under which it may be described
and sold.
Five samples were taken during the year and all were
found to be genuine.
A number of inspections were made of condensed milk
exposed for sale in shops in order to ascertain whether labelling
was being properly carried out, but no contravention of the
regulations was found, probably due in very large measure
to the fact that condensed milk is prepared by large manufacturers
who take steps to comply with the regulations.
PUBLIC HEALTH (DRIED MILK) REGULATIONS, 1923.
These regulations provide for the conditions under which
dried milk may be sold and labelled. Six samples were
taken during the year and submitted to the Public Analyst
for analysis. They were reported upon as genuine. There are
not many kinds of dried milk on sale, and they are invariably
prepared by large manufacturers.
