ENAMELLED WARE
A WARNING ISSUED. (Per United Press Association.) Wellington, August 17. Following the publication of a memorandum issued by the Ministry of Health, London, drawing attention to the danger of antimony poisoning by using enamelled vessels of inferior quality, the Department of Health, in conjunction with the Dominion analyst, has examined a wide variety of enamelled ware of different brands on the market. It found that much of this enamel ware contains fairly easily soluble antimony compounds. However, some brands, including two British, are quite free from antimony. The Department considers that purchasers of enamel ware would be well advised to obtain a guarantee that such goods will give up no antimony food or acids contained or prepared in them, particularly fruits or liquids of an acid nature. In other respects there is no danger whatever from the use of enamelled ware for holding and cooking foodstuffs.
