FOOD AND DRUGS ACT, 1955.
Foreign bodies in food.
During the year a number of complaints about food
containing foreign substances were received in the Department
and dealt with as under:-
(i) Foreign Matter in Bread - A resident complained about a
greenish contaminating substance found in an unwrapped loaf of
bread delivered to her house.
The Public Analyst's report on this sample and the
manufacturer's observations were considered by the Council and
it was decided that a warning letter be sent to the manufacturers
concerned.
(ii) Foreign matter in Bread - A resident complained about
three small pieces of fine wire found in a wrapped and sliced
loaf of bread. After a careful investigation the Council
decided that no action be taken.
