Sample No. 45—Broth—Chicken—Concentrated.
The broth prepared in accordance with the directions for use printed on
the container would contain only 0.4% of protein whereas canned chicken
broth of ordinary commercial quality intended for use without dilution contains
not less than 1 % protein.
This article is therefore deficient in protein.
Sample No. 48—Cake Mix.
The statement on the label specifying the ingredients appeard on the bottom
of the carton and not in a conspicuous and prominent position as required by
the Labelling of Food Order, 1953.
Also in my opinion, a picture on the front panel of a cake complete with
"Buttercream" filling and icing was likely to be misleading since the ingredients
did not include those necessary for icing and filling.
Sample No. 75—Bread and Butter.
Consisted of sliced bread spread with a mixture consisting of approximately
equal proportions of butter and margarine.
Sample No. 86—Buttered Rolls.
Consisted of bread roll and margarine.
