DYED BUTTER
BRITAIN’S FOREIGN IMPORTS. NO MEANS OF PREVENTION. (United Press Assn.—Telegraph Copyright.) London, October 31. Dr Burgin asked in the House of Commons whether the practice of dyeing foreign butter to give it the characteristic yellow colour of grass-fed Australian and New Zealand could not be prohibited as it was prejudicial to Empire butters. The Minister said the dyeing of butter with annatto was a common practice in Britain and elsewhere. He had received no representations that it was prejudicial to Empire butters. There was no power to prohibit the use of annatto. The Merchandise Marks Act provided that imported butter must be marked with the country of origin.
