The irregular samples are referred to below:—
(a) in this group are those samples reported to be irregular because
the label did not specify the ingredients of the product as
required by the Labelling of Food Order, 1953; in every case
correspondence with the retailer and the manufacturer or
importer resulted in an undertaking being given that the
labelling of unsold stocks and of future consignments would be
correctly amended:
Sample 752 : Liquid Mustard.
„ 758: Mango Chutney.
„ 768: Peeled Shrimps.
„ 770: Pickled Cucumbers.

„ 828: Bean Sprouts.
„ 842: Golden Corn.
„ 845: Pineapple.
„ 848: Asparagus Tips.
„ 849: Chow-Chows.
(b) the second group includes samples for which the label made
some claim as to vitamin or mineral content but without giving
the quantitative statement which is required by the Labelling of
Food Order, 1953; in all these cases, too, undertakings were
given that the labelling of unsold stock and future consignments
would conform to the requirements of the 1953 Order:
Sample 749 : Apple Juice.
„ 754: Grapefruit Juice.
„ 757: Apple Juice.
,, 759: Orange Juice.
