Two Essequibo milk vendors were yesterday warned of the danger of selling milk which was not of the required standard.
Bridgelall of Cullen and Samaroolall of Annandale got the warning from Magistrate Hector Patterson at Suddie after they had pleaded guilty to charges of selling milk below the required standard.
The men were fined $25 each with an alternative of one month’s imprisonment by the Magistrate who told them: ”This a very dangerous practice and is viewed very seriously by the court.”
In the case of Bridgelall, Public Health Inspector S. Tulsi said that his milk had 14.4% water while there was 32 per cent water in Samaroolall’s milk. (Guyana Graphic September 24, 1968)
