Mr. Dodds

asked the Minister of Food if, in view of the unsatisfactory position with regard to the meat content of sausages, he will take action to make it obligatory on sausage manufacturers to provide a minimum meat content of 50 per cent, in beef sausages and 65 per cent. in pork sausages.

Mr. Amory

No. The latest returns from Food and Drugs Authorities show an average of 68 per cent, of meat in samples of pork sausages and 63 per cent, in samples of beef sausages.
