§ 54. Mr. Draysonasked the Minister of Food if he is satisfied that Polish frozen egg is of the same high quality and as satisfactory as Canadian frozen egg previously made available to the trade.
§ Dr. SummerskillWe have received complaints on some recent shipments which are now being investigated, but over the past two years these eggs have proved satisfactory.
§ Mr. DraysonIs there any compensation that can be claimed by bakers who used this frozen egg against which complaints have been made?
§ Dr. SummerskillThe hon. Gentleman has been misinformed. The only complaint about this material is that it is less viscous than the Canadian variety. No doubt that is due to the fact that it has been subjected to a pasteurisation process.
§ Mr. DraysonIs the right hon. Lady aware that bakers are complaining that this egg deteriorates after it has been in cooked food for three days?
§ Dr. SummerskillNo, Sir. The hon. Gentleman must realise that the quality of food does not vary according to the political ideology of the country of origin.
