BUTTER SUPPLIES
USE OF COLOURING MATERIALS. United Press Association—By Electrlo Telegraph—Copyright LONDON, October 31. In the House of Commons, Dr L. Burgin was asked whether the practice of dyeing foreign butter to give it the characteristic yellow colour of grass fed in 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 the 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.
