HC Deb 28 January 1953 vol 510 c114W
68. Air Commodore Harvey

asked the Minister of Food how much white fish was landed at Hull and Grimsby on 20th, 30th and 31st December; and how much edible fish was unsold on those dates.

Dr. Hill

Following is the information:

There is no limit on the maximum fruit content of any jam. The minimum is 37½ per cent. and 25 per cent. respectively for strawberry jam and raspberry jam.

No manufacturers may add to jam any colouring agent which renders it injurious to health. The colours most commonly used are ponceau reds, carmoisine and amaranth. The boiling during manufacture of the jam removes all but traces of sulphur dioxide used for preserving pulp.
