andb that designation was used for the purpose of the sale of milk to him.3 No person shall, for the purpose of the sale or advertisement of any milk, refer to that milk by any such description, not being a special designation, as is calculated falsely to suggest–a that there is in force a licence authorising the use of a special designation in connection with that milk; orb that the cows from which the milk is derived are free from the infection of tuberculosis or of any other disease; orc that the milk is tested, approved or graded by any competent person.4 In any proceedings taken under paragraph (3) above it rests on the person charged to prove the truth of any suggestion which, in the opinion of the court, his acts or conduct as proved by the prosecution are or is calculated to convey.5 Where there has been a breach of a condition subject to which a licence authorising the use of a special designation is granted but the licence has not been revoked or suspended, the breach shall not be treated as rendering the use of the designation unauthorised for any of the purposes of this Order.2B 1 Subject to paragraph (2) below, no person shall sell milk either to a caterer or by retail for human consumption unless he uses a special designation in accordance with this Order.2 Paragraph (1) above shall not apply to–a a sale by a caterer if either–i he holds a licence authorising him to use a special designation; orii he bought the milk under a sale for the purpose of which a special designation was used;b a sale to a caterer if the caterer holds a licence authorising him to use the special designation appropriate to that milk;c a sale by a producer of milk from cows to persons–i employed by him in or in connection with such production; orii employed by him otherwise in agriculture,if he does not engage in any other selling of milk;d a sale to a caterer who buys the milk with a view to subjecting it to a process to which milk is required to be subjected as a condition of the use of a special designation in connection with it, and he is the holder of a licence authorising him to use that designation;e a sale to a caterer who buys the milk for the purposes of a business of his as a milk dealer or a manufacturer of milk products other than his business as a caterer;f a non-retail sale where the seller has reasonable cause to believe that the buyer was either not a caterer, or that, if he knows the buyer is a caterer, the conditions in sub-paragraphs (d) or (e) above are fulfilled;g a sale made with the consent of the Secretary of State;h a sale by a caterer of milk sold to the caterer under a consent given by the Secretary of State.3 The Secretary of State may give such consent for the purposes of paragraph (2) above–a either generally as respects selling milk in a defined area or restricted to a particular retailer or establishment or otherwise; andb either unconditionally or subject to conditions,as may appear to him to be requisite to meet any circumstances in which the use of a special designation appears to him to be for the time being not reasonably practicable.2C 1 In the event of a breach of any condition to which this article applies of a licence held by a retailer, the holder of the licence shall be guilty of an offence subject to the following provisions.2 A person shall not be guilty of an offence under this article if the act or omission concerned renders him liable to punishment imposed by or under any enactment other than this article.3 A person shall not be guilty of an offence under this article unless the breach of condition was the later, or a later, of two or more such breaches, occurring within a period of 12 months, of conditions either of that licence or of that licence and a former licence by way of renewal of which that licence was granted, and was committed either–a after the food authority had given him notice in writing as to an earlier of those two or more breaches informing him of his being alleged to have committed it, and warning him of the liability to prosecution imposed by this article; orb after he had been convicted of an offence under this article because of an earlier of those two or more breaches.4 In any prosecution under this article, it shall be a defence for the holder of the licence to prove (either as to the breach for which he is being prosecuted or as to the earlier breach relied on for the purposes of paragraph (3) above, unless it is one under which he has been convicted of such an offence)–a that neither he nor any servant or agent of his–i did, or knew of the doing of, any act that constituted the breach or could reasonably be regarded as having been the cause or among the causes of it; orii omitted to do, or knew of the omission to do, any act the omission of which constituted the breach, or the doing of which can reasonably be regarded as a precaution that would have prevented it; andb if the breach was in connection with milk that had been sold to him, or had been delivered to him after being subjected to a process to which it was required to be subjected as a condition of the use of the special designation to which his licence related, that that designation–i was used for the purpose of the sale to him or in connection with the delivery to him, as the case may be; andii was so used without any breach, discoverable by the exercise of reasonable diligence on the part of himself or any servant or agent of his, of any condition, relating to receptacles, to closing, to fastening or to marking, of a licence to use that designation held by the person who sold the milk to him or subjected it to the process, as the case may be.5 This article applies to the following conditions:–a the examination or testing of animals, the inoculation of animals, the keeping of any animal or herd away from other animals, or other measures for detecting the existence of disease in animals or preventing the contracting or spread of it;b the marking, or keeping of records, of any animals, or other measures for their identification;c the subjection of milk to any process of heat-treatment, or to any cooling or other process, requirements in connection with the subjection of milk to such a process or as to the temperature or other conditions under which it is to be kept afterwards, or the recording or retention of evidence of the observance of such requirements;d satisfaction of a test of milk, being a test related to the subjection of milk to such a process as is mentioned above or to the observance of any such requirements as are mentioned above;e measures for securing that milk produced, or subjected to a process, as required by any condition is kept away from, and free from admixture with, other milk not so produced or subjected or other things, or is not subjected to some specified process;f the manner in which milk produced, or subjected to any process, in accordance with any conditions is to be dealt with or kept as respects the receptacles in which it is to be put or to remain, the closing or fastening of receptacles, or the marking of receptacles, or of things by which they are closed or fastened;g the manner of describing milk produced, or subjected to any process, in accordance with any conditions;h the making or keeping of records of milk produced, bought, subjected to any process, or sold.2D 1 A person–a who adds any water or colouring matter, or any dried or condensed milk or liquid reconstituted from it, to milk intended for sale for human consumption; orb who sells, or offers or exposes for sale, or has in his possession for the purpose of sale, for human consumption, any milk to which any addition has been made in contravention of sub-paragraph (a) above,is guilty of an offence.2 For the purposes of paragraph (1)(b) above, a person shall be deemed to retain the possession of milk which is deposited in any place for collection until it is actually collected.3 The treatment of milk by the application of steam shall not be treated for the purposes of this article as the making of an addition of water to that milk if it is done in accordance with Schedules 2 to 4 and 9.2E Nothing in this Part shall apply to imported milk.”
