FOOD COMPLAINTS
Bread. A loaf of bread contained foreign matter and the Public Analyst
reported that it consisted of a cooked dough substance slightly contaminated
and discoloured by very finely divided particles of iron and possibly
a trace of oil. The quantity present was minute and quite harmless.
This had evidently originated from the machinery and a warning letter was
sent to the bakers. A further complaint was received concerning a loaf
supplied by the same bakers. Proceedings were instituted in this case and
and defendants were fined £10 with £3. 3. 0. costs.
A piece of metal found in a loaf of bread was identified as a
piece of broken belt coupling from the bakehouse machinery. A warning
letter was sent to the baker and attention was drawn to the necessity for
regular inspection of the plant.
Another complaint was received of foreign matter in a loaf of bread
and the Public Analyst reported that it consisted of numerous minute black
particles which had the characteristics of general atmospheric dust and
dirt but a considerable proportion consisted of unburnt carbon of a sooty
nature. Proceedings were instituted and the bakery company was fined
£20 and £5. 5. 0. costs.
Biscuits. Mould growth was found in biscuits and the matter was taken
up with the manufacturers and it appeared that the trouble had arisen
through a defective joint in the tin and the biscuits had become damp.
A warning letter was sent to the manufacturers.
