Other Foods which were the subject of Complaint.
Steak and Kidney Pie. The complainant alleged that he had diarrhoea
and sickness during the night after consuming the pie. No other complaints
were received and when investigations proceeded the next day it was found
that all pies in the same consignment as the offending one had been consumed,
therefore eliminating the chance to check the code numbers on the
pie wrapping. In the circumstances there was no way of proving the pies
were stale or out of condition and no further action could be taken.
Glass in Wheatmeal Loaf. The glass was found to be that which is
commonly used for tableware etc. and not heat resistant or lead glass.
The shape and characteristics of the larger pieces were consistent with
being derived from a broken rim of a dish. No glass whatsoever is allowed
in the manufacturer's factory. This was checked and confirmed. It seemed
very doubtful that the glass entered the loaf during manufacture and it was
therefore not possible to pursue the matter further.
Tin of Mandarin Oranges. A slight phenol flavour was noted by the
complainant. The tin had been bought a month prior to being opened but
the complainant could not furnish any details with regard to the name or
address of the retailer.
