PRESERVATIVE IN MEAT
FOUR BUTCHERS FINED IN CHRISTCHURCH. ACTION BY DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) CHRISTCHURCH, This Day. Four butchers were each fined ten shillings by Mr E. C. Levvey, S.M., today in cases in which the defendants were charged with selling mince meat which contained more than the permissible amount of sulphur dioxide—3.s grains to the pound. Mr T. Fargiter, of the Health Department, said a report to the Department from Johannesburg, drawing attention to the detrimental effect on the digestion of a surplus of sulphur dioxide in meat, had led to investigations around Christchurch. Out of forty-four tests, eleven failed to comply with the regulation.
“The Department looks upon it as a serious affair that we should have to consume all this mummified food,” Mr Fargiter said.
