Public Analysts' Annual Report.
To the Wandsworth Borough Council.
Mr. Mayor, Ladies and Gentlemen,
Herewith we have pleasure in handing you our report on
work performed by us in connection with the administration of the
Food and Drugs (Adulteration) Act, 1928, during 1932.
All the samples mentioned in this report were submitted
by your Council's Food Inspector, five of the formal samples of
Milk having been taken at the request of the Metropolitan Borough
of Battersea and five informal samples at the request of ratepayers
from whom complaints had been received.
In all 2,005 samples were examined under the Act, 1,005
having been taken with the necessary formalities required by the
Act, and 1,000 procured informally.
Of the formal samples 1.5 per cent., of the informal samples
0.6 per cent., and of all samples 1.1 per cent., were returned as
adulterated or not up to legal standard ; figures upon which the
Borough may be congratulated.
The following statement shows the nature of the samples
examined, with the results of analyses, the details of Drugs and
"Other Articles " being shown subsequently.
