Informal Sample - Tomato Puree:
The sample had a markedly bitter taste which, in the opinion of the Public Analyst,
is caused by tin when present in amounts greater than 100 parts per million.
A formal sample of the product was taken in 1971, which also proved unsatisfactory,
and the matter has been taken up with the factory Management in Italy.
Informal Sample - Lemon Milk Jelly:
In the opinion of the Public Analyst an article described as a milk jelly should be
made without water, and the sample contained 35 per cent water.
A copy of the Analyst's report was sent to the manufacturers with a request for
their comments.
Formal Sample - Pepsi Cola:
The Public Analyst's report showed that the product had a quality deficiency.
The manufacturers investigated and found the reason for the fault was a blockage in the
proportioning equipment which affected accurate proportioning of ingredients. The fault was
corrected.
Imported Food Regulations 1968

were taken in 1970. The goods were of a high standard but it was found necessary for the
importing company to amend some labels. Sugar confectionary items delivered to a wholesale
company were examined and sampled.
