'No Problem’ About Testing Cheese
GVetc Zealand Frees Association) AUCKLAND, Sept. 11. Cheese manufacturers should have no difficulty meeting the Australian Government’s new quarantine regulations on imported cheese, Mr A. H. Woolven, general manager of the New Zealand Co-operative Dairy Company, Ltd., said today.
Australian demands for phosphatase tests during manufacture would not present a problem, he said.
The test, a check on effective pasteurisation, was “not a difficult one.” Although the Government has made a formal protest at the regulations, officials of the Department of Agriculture have indicated that they do not expect any problems in providing proof of testing. The department’s supervis-
ing dairy produce grader for 1 Auckland, Mr J. F. Aitken, I said all New Zealand cheese was pasteurised. i “We have never been asked i Ito provide a declaration be- i | fore,” he said. “But if a cer- i
tificate is called for, we could be able to issue one.” The regulations are designed to prevent the entry of brucellosis and other diseases to Australia through cheese.
