Excerpt from Preservatives in Food and Food Examination

The question of the danger, if any, arising from the use of colouring matters is a subject of much less importance, but it has been deemed desirable to include a chapter dealing with it.

The Departmental Committee urged the desirability of the appointment of a Court of Reference, such as had previously been recommended by the Select Committee on Food Products Adulteration the number of which should not be too large, but include at least a chemist, a bacteriologist, a pharma cologist, a physician, a physiologist, and a representative of the Public Health Service. Failing this, they suggest that some definite obligation should be placed upon the Local Govern ment Board to exercise supervision over the use of preservatives and colouring matters in foods. Unfortunately, as yet, no action has been taken, and in the Police Courts the most diverse decisions are constantly being given, the only right of appeal being to Quarter Sessions. Such a condition is in the highest degree unsatisfactory, both to the public and to those engaged in the preparation or sale of articles of food or drink to which preservatives or colouring matters are usually added.
