(c) a further group of samples proved to be irregular because the
description of the product was misleading or because the product
was not of the standard prescribed by statute; in these cases
undertakings were given that the correct description would be
used in future or that the statutory standard would be complied
with:
Sample 766: Passion Fruit Juice: the ingredients required this
product to be described correctly as Passion Fruit Drink.
Sample 772: Cream Cheese: the sample did not conform to the
standard for cream cheese and the description should not have
included the word 'cream'.
Sample 803: Hot Milk: contained 12% added water because the
milk was heated by steam injection and contained bottle rinsings.
Sample 805: Hot Milk: contained 28% added water because the
article was made by mixing the 'top' or cream from a bottle of milk
with hot water.

Sample 748: Apple Juice: the sample was irregular in that the
vitamin content was not shown in the terms required by the
Labelling of Food Order, 1953, and in that the contents were
deficient in the vitamin claimed; the unsold stocks were relabelled
so as to comply with the Order and so as to show the true vitamin
content.

action was taken by the Council because of the absence of a
statutory standard to which the manufacturer's attention could
be drawn:
Sample 764: Margarine: claimed to be suitable for persons
suffering from thrombosis, atheroma, etc.
Sample 771: Casserole Steak: made of a mixture of 3 parts mutton
and 1 part beef :
Sample 777: Slym Bread: the food was not in itself slimming and
the description might have been misleading:
