Explanatory Note.

7

(This Note is not part of the regulations, but if intended

to indicate their general purport).

It has been found that the requirements of the Food and Drugs (Composi- And Labelling) Regulations, 1960 (the principal regulations) with respect to be composition of sweetened condensed skimmed or separated milk and un- tected condensed or evaporated skimmed or separated milk are more stringent than the equivalent requirements in the countrica from which most of the milk in question is obtained. The requirements of those countries conform to the Vandard recommended for international adoption by the Food and Agricultural furization of the United Nations, and these regulations amend the principal regulations so as to bring the Colony's requirements in this respect into line *th the requirements of those countries. The effect of the amendments is to it the milk in question to contain slightly less total milk solids, including fat. (Secretariat GR3/3231/60)
