Of samples of ice cream and ice cream substitutes 41 were examined, 

 of which 8 were standard or practically so, and 33 were below standard. 

 A few of those below standard were reasonably good products, contain- 

 ing from 10 to 12 per cent of milk fat, but the larger part of them 

 were very poor substitutes for ice cream, many of them containing only 

 from 3 to 5 per cent of milk fat, and were adulterated with gelatine, 

 so-called ice cream powders, etc.
