Note.— It was not found necessary to institute proceedings in respect
of the samples found to be below standard. The discrepancies were of
a minor character and the informal action taken resulted in satisfactory
measures being taken to comply with the required standards.
The Public Analyst reports that, in classifying the samples as
genuine or otherwise, all relevant Regulations and Orders under the
Defence Regulations, as well as the Regulations made under the Food and
Drugs Act, 1938, have been taken into account.
