1 or not?
A. Not that I am aware of in this country anyway.
2
MS. STEEL: Then you go on to say: "In recent years the
3 company has made a number of changes in the composition of
its regular products"?
4 A. Yes, perhaps I should get the ----
5 Q. I do not think I can give you the reference because mine
is not in the same order.
6 A. Is it yellow Volume V?
7 MR. RAMPTON: Yellow V, I think, though I have not found it
myself yet. It is tab 6.
8
MS. STEEL: It is internal page 9.
9
MR. RAMPTON: Page 93, apparently.
10 A. Yes, I think I have it now.
11 MS. STEEL: You have there, "the replacement of lard in buns
with a lower amount of vegetable oil". Do you know when
12 that was introduced?
A. I think that would have been -- I think about 1990 or
13 1991. I think that was done before I joined the company.
14 Q. Right.
A. Before I became involved in the company.
15
Q. What about the next one: "Introduction of dressings and
16 sauces with a low fat content"?
A. Again, without referring to more detailed notes,
17 I would say that was about a year ago, although there are
actually salad dressings and sauces for some of the
18 sandwich products. I think that happened on two
occasions; one I think would probably be three or four
19 years ago, then the other one more recently.
20 Q. For salad dressings?
A. I think so; again, without referring to more detailed
21 notes, I could not give you the exact times.
22 Q. Do you know when salads were introduced?
A. No, but they certainly have been on sale in
23 restaurants around the London area for several years now.
24 Q. Do you how many stores salads are sold in?
A. No.
25
Q. You do not know?
26 A. I cannot say; they are not in them all.
27 Q. You have no idea of the percentage?
A. No. I could not provide you with that information.
28
Q. Then going on: "Reformulation of the processed cheese so
29 that total fat content was reduced". When did that take
place?
30 A. That is one of the ones I was directly involved in;
I think that was introduced in the last year or two.
