foreign lard is forbidden, unless the article is provided with a 

 distinct mark which indicates that it is a mixture of this kind. 

 Special regulations will be made as regards foreign butter in 

 hermetically sealed tins ; and with reference to various other 

 matters. 



The Act provides for the adoption of an official mark for 

 butter manufactured in Denmark from pasteurized cream. The 

 mark will apply to all exported Danish butter, with the excep- 

 tion of butter in air-tight tins, provided they are suitably 

 marked as containing Danish produce. An analogous mark 

 will be adopted for slightly-salted Danish pork which is ex- 

 ported. The importation and sale, &c., of foreign butter bearing 

 any mark which might be mistaken for the official one will be 

 prohibited. It is forbidden without permission to manufacture 

 or import reproductions of the prescribed marks, or the material 

 necessary for their production. 



Wholesale and retail dealers and exporters of foreign butter 

 are required to keep it in the original labelled packing, and a 

 conspicuous "notice" must also be placed on all butter which 

 is sold retail. If foreign butter is not delivered to the purchaser 

 in the original packing, the wrapper which is put directly round 

 the butter must be distinctly marked " Foreign butter." 



Persons who trade in the above-mentioned goods, including 

 manufacturers of butter from pasteurized cream in Denmark, 

 must give notice in writing to the authorities by whom an 

 official register of the dealers will be kept. The Customs 

 authorities, the police, and the margarine inspectors shall have 

 the right to enter premises where goods are offered for sale, to 

 examine books, and to take samples on payment. Various 

 penalties may be imposed for offences under the Act, and it 

 will come into force after six months' notice in the Danish 

 official gazette.
