Care Needed In Packing Canned Meats For Britain
The Aid for Britain National Council says that complaints have again been received regarding the contents of tinned meats frequently sent in gift parcels from New Zealand. to Britain. While some of the tinned foods being put up in New Zealand are very satisfactory, some are not of great value as a contribution to the British ration. Normally the recipient of a gift of this nature is loth to complain and donors do not always hear of unsatisfactory tins having been received. In general, parcel packers here are advised to but meats known in the trade as “hard packs,” that is, tins containing meat only, with no addition of vegetables or cereals or other food. Such packs are corned beef and mutton (now readily available again since the lifting of meat rationing here) tongues, tongues and veal, luncheon beef and luncheon brawn. Persons sending gift parcels are advised to buy full-meat packs, not mixtures, and it is then felt that the recipient overseas will find no cause for complaint. ,
