Sir,
You
I am directed by the Local Government Boardi to advert to Mr. Fiddes' letter of the 19th urtimo (No.2361/1911) transmitting a copy of a despatch from Governor of Hong Kong forwarding a petition against the Food & Drugs Amendment Ordinance, 1911, and in reply,
I am to state that the Board are adised that condensed, separated, or skimmed milk is not a suitable food for infanta, and that its use for this purpose is likely to lead to injuricus results.
I am further to add that the Board consider that the requirement or to labelling of such milks in the Hong Kong Food & Drugs Amendment Ordinance, No.20 of 1911, appears to be a reasonable and proper cne.
I am to enclose for the information of Mr. Secretary Harcourt, a copy of the report of Dr.Coutts, one of the Board's Inspectors of Foods, on "An Inquiry as to Condensed Milks; with special reference to their use as Infants' Foods", and I am to state that a recom- mendation is made in that report (page 47) that tins of condensed machine skimmed milks should be required to
bear on the labels the words "Skimmed milk unfit for
infante"
The Under Secretary of State,
Colonial office.
