Pork Sausages.(2 samples)
Consisted of preserved pork sausages containing 290 parts
per million of sulphur dioxide contrary to the requirements of the
Preservative in Pood Regulations, 1962. The retailer was warned
and a preservative notice has since been displayed.
Fish Soup.
The addition of milk was required to make the fish soup but
this was not specified on the label on the front of the container.
Also the correct description of the article was Pish Soup Mix,
not Pish Soup. The matter was raised with the importers who
agreed to amend the description on the label to "Deep Sea Pish Soup
Mix".
Milk (Hot).
Sight per cent. deficient in fat. Contained only 2.75
per cent. instead of a minimum of 3%. Adverse report due to milk
in heated container on counter not being adequately agitated to mix
effectively before serving. A warning was given in this case.
Broiled Octopus.
Ingredients incorrectly specified on the label as Octopus, Soy
Sauce, Sugar, Monosodium Glutamate. The article contained salt and
hydrolised protein and both these substances could be constituents of
the soy sauce and they should be individually specified. Correspondence
with importers was left in abeyance pending the publishing
of new Labelling Regulations and has not yet been concluded.
Cockles.
Salt was not specified on the label as an ingredient. The
packers stated that salt was not added as an ingredient and are
carrying out an investigation among their cockle suppliers.
Fillets of Anchovies in Pure Olive Oil.
Salt was not specified on the label as an ingredient. The
matter was raised with the importers who arranged for the packers
to amend the labels so as to include "salt added".
