HC Deb 08 December 1948 vol 459 c52W
66. Captain Crowder

asked the Minister of Food whether his attention has been called to the case of a baker at Sheffield who was fined for selling jam tarts containing mineral oil; and what steps he is taking to draw the attention of the bakery and confectionery trade to the fact that mineral oil is detrimental to health.

Mr. Strachey

Yes. This case has been widely reported in the national newspapers and will, I am told, be reported in greater detail in the trade Press. I do not think, therefore, that it is necessary for me to give further publicity at the moment.
