that method of heating.

A genuine sample of dried skimmed milk containing 1.0 per cent of milk
fat.

A sample of bread made with skimmed milk powder but contained no whole

The vendor stated that full cream milk powder was being used and a formal
sample taken at a later date satisfied the requirements.
