Arising from the unsatisfactory reports, action was taken as appropriate
to the particular case. The majority of the incidents involved misleading
descriptions or incorrect labelling, and in all cases action on lines suggested
was taken by the firms concerned. In one instance, demerara sugar was
found to contain foreign matter and on the attention of the manufacturers
being drawn to the incident, immediate steps were taken to prevent a
recurrence.
On no occasion was it necessary to report an incident with a view to
summary action being taken.
