Whilst every case of food contamination must be regarded as
serious, the number of complaints are few in relation to the very
large amount of food which passes through the shops in the town.
Consideration must also be given to the number of transactions
involved and the persons concerned in processing, packing and handling
the food. Food traders and manufacturers are very sensitive to complaints
and the trade in general co-operate fully in an effort to avoid
any cause for repetition.
MERCHANDISE MARKS ACT „ 1926.

with the Orders made under the above Act in respect of certain
