HC Deb 24 July 1950 vol 478 c20
32. Mr. Braine

asked the Minister of Food from what countries animal blood plasma used as a substitute for eggs is imported; what tests are made to ensure its fitness for human consumption; and whether he is satisfied that the slaughtering of animals for this purpose is carried out under proper supervision.

Mr. Webb

Imports so far have come from Denmark only, but small quantities are also expected from Holland later in the year. A veterinary certificate that the product is derived from healthy animals and that slaughtering was carried out under proper supervision, must accompany all consignments, and this stipulation is most stringently applied.
