§ Captain Kerbyasked the Minister of Health if he is satisfied that Chinese white and yolk of egg, as at present imported into the United Kingdom, are fit for human consumption, in view of analytical reports to the contrary.
§ Mr. Walker-SmithBulked egg products from any source are liable to contain pathogenic organisms and, for this reason, they are sampled by port70W health and other local authorities for bacteriological examination. I do not think that special action in relation to Chinese egg products is required at present. The trade have arranged for dried crystalline albumen to be heat-treated before distribution.
