(c) Adulteration, etc. (Food and Drugs Adulteration Act, 1928)
Seventy-seven samples were submitted for analysis during the
year. All were genuine.
Of these 77 samples, one was in respect of a sample of tea, and
another was of jam. The remaining 75 samples were of milk, two
of which were informal samples.
Although Walthamstow is not the Food and Drugs Authority,
such good work has been carried out in the past by continuous
sampling under this Act and the Milk and Dairies (Amendment)
Act that no real relaxation in this matter is contemplated.
Since the inception of the supply to sohool children under the
Milk Marketing Board's Scheme, samples of milk so supplied are
taken at the schools under this Act, and will be duly recorded in
the 1935 Annual Report.
OFFENSIVE TRADES.
During the year, the Council sanctioned the establishing of
one Fish Frier, and refused their sanction to the establishing of two
Fish Friers and Curers.
