Explanatory Note
(This Note is not part of the regulations, but is intended
to indicate their general purport).
These regulations provide for the deletion from the principal regula- tions of the provisions relating to dried milk, with respect to which new regulations have been made simultaneously with these regulations. The opportunity has been taken-
(a) to insert a provision similar to that in other subsidiary legislation under the Public Health and Urban Services Ordinance, specifying in whose name prosecutions may be brought; and
(5) to amplify the provisions concerning the labelling of milk products, other than dried milk, which ought not to be given to babies, except on medical advice. The provisions as to labelling at present covered in by-law 10 and by-law 11(1)li) of the Milk By-laws are now covered in these regulations.
