Sugar Packs
Sir,—l am a normal helpful husband who assists his wife with the week-end groceries. Every time we get a 11b or 21b packet of brown sugar the packet is broken, or breaks on the way home. Why cannot the packers use decent bags for brown and raw sugar? Ordinary white sugar is packed in a good bag: so why not the brown sugar? —Yours, etc., WISHFUL THINKER. March 9, 1964. [Mr B. H. Ames, managing director of the New Zealand Sugar Company, Ltd., comments: “Soft brown refined sugar is at present supplied in 701 b bags from which grocers repack into small packets. The existing machinery used at Chelsea refinery for packaging white sugar into retail packages cannot be adopted for brown sugar. The demand for brown sugar is relatively small, but consideration is at present being given to installing additional machinery to pack soft brown refined sugar into small, strong packets at the refinery.”]
