The composition of the product depends on the milk used, the 

 degree of concentration and, if sweetened, the amount of sugar added. 



The only form of adulteration practiced by manufacturers to any 

 extent is the use of skim-milk in the place of whole milk. 



Only two samples have been examined, one of which was a skim- 

 milk, for which there is no standard, as to the amount of milk solids 

 or fat that shall be present. 



Sample No. 6140 proved to be a standard condensed milk, but was 

 not properly labeled, which made its sale illegal.

 gum ice-cream (as the case may be) ; or if a placard bearing the fol- 

 lowing statement — 



Imitation ice-cream is served here. 



Compound ice-cream is served here. 



Egg ice-cream is served here. 



Gelatine ice-cream is served here, or

shall be posted in a conspicuous place in the room where any and 

 all persons may see the same when purchasing cream ; and Provided 

 furl her, that the statement on the placard is printed in plain black 

 letters, not less than one inch in size, on a white background. 



Forty-four samples sold as ice-cream and one sold as frappe were 

 examined, 8 of which proved to be standard or legal ice-creams, 

 while 3G were below standard in milk fat and were, therefore, 

 sold in violation of the law. However, as this is the first examination 

 of ice-creams, no prosecutions will be made for this offense, but in 

 future the law must be complied with.
