UNSATISFACTORY SAMPLES
Formal Sample No. 23—Marmalade
This sample was from a small stock of marmalade manufactured in
the Borough. Remainder of the stock was withdrawn from sale. Warning
letter sent.
Informal Sample No. 43—Lung Syrup
The sample contained chloroform 0.07 per cent. The formula printed
on the label indicated that the syrup contained, inter alia, chloroform
0.24 per cent. A repeat formal sample in a bottle with a new type closure
was obtained. This sample proved satisfactory.
Informal Sample No. 56—Buns
This sample was submitted as a result of a complaint and was found
to contain a small quantity of black extraneous matter, mixed and baked
in the dough. This matter was found to consist of charred flour with
other vegetable matter, mainly woody tissues. Investigations showed that
the dough had become contaminated by contact with a worn and dirty
peel. Warning letter sent to manufacturer.
Informal Sample No. 85—Bread
This sample was submitted as a result of a complaint. The loaf was
discoloured by dark streaks. Discolouration was found to be due to the
presence of a number of very fine particles of iron which had become
mixed with the dough before baking. A satisfactory report was received
from the Local Authority in whose district the bakehouse is sited. Warning
letter sent to Management.
Informal Sample No. 88—Channel Islands Milk
The sample contained fat 3.79 per cent, solids-not-fat 8.75 per cent,
corresponding to a deficiency of 5 per cent of the milk fat. Channel
Islands milk should contain at least 4 per cent milk fat. Repeat formal
samples were obtained, all of which satisfied the standard.
