§ 37. Mr. GLOSSOPasked the Minister of Health whether he will consider the advisability of amending the Food and Drugs Act in such a way that bottles of vinegar and pickles shall be labelled so as to state whether they contain malt vinegar or imitation vinegar?
Sir H. YOUNGI have taken note of this suggestion in connection with others relating to the composition and labelling of articles of food, but I could not undertake to introduce legislation on the subject at the present time.
§ Mr. GLOSSOPWill the right hon. Gentleman consider the protection of the consuming public, in view of the fact that malt vinegar has definite valuable phosphates therein, whereas acetic acid, or imitation vinegar, is produced from wood or from substances having a mineral basis?
