2674 (informal)
Minced Steak with Gravy
and Onion.
The ingredients of this article
specified on the label included
'Seasoning', but this is a generic
and not a specific description and
is not an appropriate designation
for the purpose of the Labelling
of Food Order, 1953.
The matter was taken up with the
manufacturers who agreed to
discontinue use of word "Seasoning"
in all future printings of their
labels.
2677 (informal)
pumpernickel.
Misleading illustration on the label.
Illustrated as being 3 slices of
bread forming a double sandwich
filled with thick layers of what
would appear to be cream or butter.
Also, one of the sandwiches had a
fruit-like decoration on top. This
article consisted of black bread
in the form of a rectangular block
of 7 closely adhering slices with
no other ingredients or additions.
Correspondence and interviews took
place with London Importers and as
a result a new label omitting the
illustration was submitted and
approved.
The ingredients of these two articles
as specified on the label included
'Vegetable Stabiliser',but this is
a generic and not a specific name
or description and is not an
appropriate designation for the
purpose of the Labelling of Food
Order,1953.
The manufacturers stated that these
soups were not made during spring
and summer, but gave the assurance
that when production commenced in
early autumn packets would bear an
amended label.
2694 (informal)
Chicken Capri.
Contained only 18 per cent of chicken
and other meat, including fat,
instead of a reasonable minimum of
35 per cent.
Following correspondence the
manufacturers undertook to amend
the wording on the label and to
slightly increase the meat content.
2703 (informal)
Cherry Pie Filling.
One of the ingredients specified on
the label was vegetable gum, but
this is a generic and not a specific
term and is not an appropriate
designation for the purpose of the
Labelling of Food Order,1953.
The Importers submitted a revised
label which was satisfactory and
gave an assurance that no further
supplies would be exported with the
incorrect list of ingredients.
