NEED TO BE WATCHED
SALE OF FROZEN MEAT (By Telegraph.—Special to Times) DUNEDIN, Saturday “ It would be interesting to know whether the Food Controller (Mr F. R. Picot) is going to make any special provisions for the sale of frozen meat, which he announced would be made available to butchers to supplement local supplies during the period of high prices,” remarked a man well versed in stock affairs today. He said the public was entitled to know whether the meat it was buying was fresh or frozen and the butchers should be under supervision that would not permit them to re-sell frozen ewe mutton, for example, which would cost them from 2£d to 3d a lb, at prices upward of 8d a lb. Unless strict supervision of the sale of frozen meat was instituted there would be an apportunity for butchers to dupe the public and make profits out of all proportion to the cost price of the goods sold.
