Informal Sample - Ravioli
The label on the container of this article included the word 'Seasoning'
which is a generic description and therefore not an appropriate designation
for the purpose of the Labelling of Food Order, 1953.
The importer agreed to alter the wording of the label.
Informal Sample - 'Redi-Milk'
A sample of genuine dried skimmed milk incorrectly labelled due to
the declaration that the dried milk contained one per cent of milk fat„
Schedule 2 of the Dried Milk Regulations, 1965s does not allow reference
to the milk fat content when the description is "Dried Skimmed Milk".
The manufacturers submitted a new label which was approved by the
Public Analyst.
Informal Sample - Rice Creamed Milk Pudding
In the directions printed on the label attached to the container this
article was described as "extra creamy" but the pudding contained only
2.9 per cent milk fat, no cream having been addedo
The manufacturer agreed to alter the label„
Informal Sample - Wheat Germ
The declaration on the label that the sample contained carbohydrates
36 per cent and calories 126 per ounce was incorrect, the analysis showing the
former to be 55.4 per cent and the latter 97 per ounce.
The manufacturer, an American Company, stated that the label was an old
one and that the new label declared carbohydrates to be 53 per cent and
calories 126 per ounce,
The Public Analyst accepted the new label in respect of the
carbohydrates but was unable to agree in regard to the number of calories per
ounce.
The manufacturer has been sent the Analyst's observations and a reply is
awaited.
