Mint Jelly.
This sample contained non permitted colouring matter. The
matter was raised with the manufacturers who stated that the sample
must have been old stock as the particular colouring concerned had
not been used since the Colouring Matter in Food Regulations 1966
came into force.
Sugarless Sweetener.
The label did not bear the correct declaration required by
the Artificial Sweeteners in Pood Regulations 1967. The manufacturers
stated that this was old stock as they were now using
amended labels to conform to these Regulations.
French Farmhouse Brie Cheese.
This article was incorrectly labelled. It had the composition
of a full fat soft cheese but did not bear the declaration
required by the Cheese Regulations 1965. On revisiting the
retailer it was found that correct notices were available but an
obsolete notice had been affixed at the time of sale.
Chicken Chow Mein.
Defioient in meat content. The sample contained total meat
12.395 whereas in the opinion of the Public Analyst, a canned meat
product in which the name of a variety of meat is mentioned first
in the title and which bears an illustration showing that variety
of meat as a major ingredient should have a meat content of not
less than 35$. The manufacturers agreed to amend the label to
"Chow Mein with Chicken".
Fried Hamburgers with Gravy.
This sample was deficient in meat content, containing only
39.9% total meat content. It was the opinion of the Public
Analyst that such a product should contain not less than 50$ meat.
The manufacturers undertook to ensure that all future products
would have a 50% meat content.
Fruits for Salad.
The sample was deficient in apricots, pineapple and cherries
as judged by the Code of Practice No. 4 of the Local Authorities
Advisory Committee on Food Standards but the product was canned
abroad and was not subject to this Code of Practice.
