Details of the ten unsatisfactory samples are as follows:—

986	Salad Cream (Informal)	Excessive amount of edible vegetable oil and deficiency of egg yolk solids	Sample repeated by taking formal sample No. A526
A526	Salad Cream (Formal)	Slight excess of edible vegetable oil and deficiency of egg yolk solids	According to the requirements of the Food Standards (Salad Cream and Mayon-aise Order 1945) the sample had a slight excess of edible vegetable oil, and a deficiency of egg yolk solids. Having regard to the investigations being conducted into the quantitative constituents of this foreign product, and the analytical methods of determining the egg yolk solid content, it was decided no further action be taken.
1059	Syrup of Hypo-phosphite (Informal)	Labelling Infringement (Deficiency of iron)	Warning. Upon representation the Manufacturers withdrew all stocks for investigation. They later stated that the preparation was deficient in solution of iron hypophosphite and the constituent had been made and supplied to them in bulk a considerable time ago. The label contained a printer's error.
1020	Vinegar (Malt) (Informal)	Labelling Infringement	The sample contained a small amount of added salt. The Ministry of Food has under certain circumstances temporarily permitted a special dispensation regarding the addition of salt without declaration on the label.
