EXPORT OF CHEESE
Second Grade May Stop Whether New Zealand should continue to export second-grade cheese was at present under consideration by the dairy industry and the Department of Agriculture, the Minister of Agriculture (Mr Hayman) said yesterday. “Recently in the United Kingdom a few crates of second-grade cheese, normally sold and used for manufacturing purposes, were by mischance on the part of the trade, distributed to an institution where the cheese was consumed in its raw state and created some upset to the people who ate it,” the Minister said. ’ "Such cheese, of which there is quite a small quantity exported, results when the lactic starters used in cheese manufacture fail. “Whether this low-grade cheese should be exported is currently under consideration by the industry in association with my department. “Disposal of this type of cheese, should export be stopped, is also being investigated," the Minister said. Cheese is graded into finest, first and second grades. According to the Dairy Board's report for 1959-60. of the 85,400 tons of cheese graded for export in that year only 0.7 per cent, was second grade.
