PROTEST BY BAKERS
Flour Quality Criticised (N.Z. Press Association) TAURANGA, April 17 Because they are concerned about the quality of flour supplied to bakers in their area, Central North Island bakers will meet in Te Kuiti next week to discuss what they consider a flour contamination problem. Mr A. Parnwell, managingdirector of a Tauranga bakery, said that in the last few weeks there had been complaints of below-standard bread in the Tauranga and central North Island areas Supplies of poor-quality flour served to emphasise the bakers’ opinion that flour distribution should not be controlled by a Government department which gave the bakers no say in the quality, he said. Government control, through the Wheat Board, began as a rationing measure during the last war. and had never been dropped Since flour quality had been dictated by the Government. New Zealanders had forgot ten how a good loaf of bread should taste, he said.
