Analysts' Annual Report.
To the Wandsworth Borough Council.
Mr. Mayor, Madam and Gentlemen,
We, herewith beg to submit for your consideration our report
on work performed by us during the year 1980 under the Sale
of Food and Drugs (Adulteration) Act, 1928.
During the year a total number of 2,000 samples were submitted
for analysis by your food inspector, 800 of which were "formal,"
i.e., taken with the formalities required by the Act and 1,200 were
procured informally.
Of the formal samples 19, or 2.37 % were found to be adulterated,
or not up to legal standard; whilst nine, or 0.75 % of the
informal samples were reported against.
The Table below shows the nature of all samples examined
and the results of analyses, the details of Spirits, Drugs and
"Other Articles" being shown subsequently.
