False or Misleading Descriptions.
As in previous years a considerable amount of work has been done in
the detailed scrutiny of advertisements and the labels on pre-packed foods,
and taking suitable action in those cases where a label or advertisement
contains a false or misleading description of the food to which it relates.
This work is of benefit to the whole county irrespective of where
within the County offences may be detected. During the year under review
corrective action has been secured in respect of salmon with potato
salad, crystallized jelly pineapple slices, pure egg mundelech, cherry
juice, lime juice, imitation cream, cream filled biscuits, cream filled
Easter eggs and cheese. In every case the person responsible agreed to
make necessary suitable amendments to labels as a result of my representations.
In no case was it necessary to institute proceedings.
Special Designated Milks.
No licences were issued by my Council in respect of the use of a
special designation for milk processed within your area. 4 samples of
pasteurised milk were taken from roundsmen in your district during the
year and submitted to examination. They proved satisfactory.
