Crean. Caramels - Upon examination it was found that
these contained no cream, butter or milk, and accordingly
should not have teen called cream caramels. The retailer
was asked to amend his description. This he agreed to do.
Cream Slice - The cream used was imitation and of
inferior quality. The manufacturers have been approached and
the matter is still under discussion.
Frig Ice - This sample did not comply with the requirements
of the Labelling of Pood Order, 1957 as the sodium
alginate it contained was not properly designated. The manufacturers
were informed and have arranged for the labels to be
reprinted.
Pruit Loaf This loaf contained a cigarette end. Legal
proceedings were instituted and a fine of £10.0.Od. with
£2.2.0d. costs was imposed.
Piping Jelly - The Analyst was of opinion that the term
glucose on the label did not indicate the true nature of the
actual ingredients, namely liquid glucose. As this is a
matter which is under discussion with the Ministry of Agriculture,
Fisheries and Pood, and the trade interests concerned, further
action on both samples has been withheld.
Salad Cream - The Analyst commented that this sample,
although not unfit for human consumption was unfit for sale.
The retailer was informed and the remainder of his stock of
this product was withdrawn from sale,
French Nougat - The wrapping paper of the nougats was
soiled with dust. The confectionery however was free from
contamination. The retailer was informed and adequate steps
were taken to prevent the foodstuff from further risk of contamination.
