27 



samples contained chemical preservatives; seven contained coal-tar 

 dyes, and one (blackberry preserves) was adulterated with other small 

 berries. 



These samples were tested for chemical preservatives and coal-tar 

 dyes only. Three samples (j^os. 4591, 4630 and 4679) contained 

 sulphites or sulphurous acid. Sulphite or sulphurous acid has both 

 preservative and bleaching properties. As it tends to destroy the 

 natural color of the fruit, sulphite is rarely used in this class of goods 

 for a preservative. In sample ISTo. 4674 (blackberry preserves) other 

 small berries were incidentally discovered, which, under the label that 

 the samples bore, are considered adulterants. 



AND MARMALADES— NO ADULTERATION FOUND.
