1 Q. But you can boil potatoes. You do not have to fry them.
A. Not in french fries, no.
2
Q. What about sugar and salt? It is true that you add those?
3 A. We salt our french fries after cooking; we add salt to
our beef pattie after cooking; coca cola is what coca cola
4 is; there is a non-choloric version as well as a standard
called "classic"; milk is what comes out of the cow
5 pasteurized, homogonized; mineral water is what comes out
of a spring in Wales.
6
Q. What about your shakes?
7 A. Butter fat, three and a half per cent.
8 Q. What about sugar?
A. We add a syrup to it for flavour, but there is no
9 added fat.
10 Q. Yes. What about sugar though?

exactly sure of the number -- it is about ten and
22 three-quarter fluid ounces. Of that ten and three-quarter
ounces, one ounce is made up of syrup, the balance, or 90
23 per cent, is a basic dairy product. So if proportionally
one is to say more than -- if we are saying that we add
24 something which is hugely dominant in the product, I have

25
MR. RAMPTON: Your Lordship does actually find -- again it is
26 to save time -- the proportions or, sorry, the amounts are
actually to be found in these nutritional analysis

28 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Thank you.
29 MR. RAMPTON: -- for all products.
