The three samples reported as being irregular were as follows:—
Milk (2 samples)
These two samples, as mentioned earlier, were both found to be
slightly deficient in solids other than fat but the freezing test did not indicate
the presence of added water and there is no doubt they were genuine milk
samples.
Lemon Sorbet
This was a sample of fruit juice and ice cream not labelled correctly
in accordance with the requirements of the Labelling of Food Order, 1953.
After the manufacturers had had their attention drawn to this irregularity,
they declared their intention of discontinuing this product and no further
action was necessary.
