Notes in regard to samples shown as adulterated or below standard or
otherwise.
Jelly Crystals. — An informal sample of Jelly Crystals was submitted
to the Public Analyst who reported that they failed to comply with the
setting test prescribed by the Food Standards (Table Jellies) Order, 1949.
A subsequent formal sample proved satisfactory.
Rollmop Herrings with Vegetables. — An informal sample of rollmop
herrings with vegetables was submitted to the Public Analyst who reported
that the article had undergone some bacterial decomposition and was unfit
for sale and also one of the ingredients (bay leaves) could not be regarded
as coming under the generic term of "spices" and should be listed as a
separate ingredient on the label in accordance with the requirements of
the Labelling of Food Order, 1956.
Another sample of rollmop herrings was in good condition, but there
was a labelling offence in that neither onions nor bay leaves were included
in the list of ingredients.
A warning letter was sent to the retailer. The manufacturers had new
labels printed to comply with the Labelling of Food Order.
Rum Butter. — An informal sample was submitted to the Public
Analyst who reported that one of the ingredients was not specified on the
label as required by the Labelling of Food Order. The matter was
referred to the manufacturers who had revised labels printed.
Tomato Paste. — An informal sample of tomato paste was submitted
to the Public Analyst who reported that salt was not specified as an ingredient
on the label as required by the Labelling of Food Order. The
matter was referred to the importers who contacted the manufacturers in
Italy and corrected labels were printed and attached to the tubes of tomato
paste.
Tomato Puree. — An informal sample of tomato puree was submitted
to the Public Analyst who reported that salt was not specified as an ingredient
on the label as required by the Labelling of Food order. The
matter was referred to the importers who explained that goods intended
for the Italian market were shipped to England in error, this shipment was
now exhausted and any future supplies would be correctly labelled.
