     1
     2   Q.   It says "gramme" but it must be per gramme?
     3        A.  Per gramme, yes.
     4
     5   Q.   Then the TVCs are given for each item. Is that correct?
     6        A.  That is correct.
     7
     8   Q.   At the bottom a laboratory analysis of finished products?
     9        A.  That is right.
    10
    11   Q.   McNuggetts and sandwiches.  Do you always sample both the
    12        raw product and the finished product?
    13        A.  Yes, we do.  We do this every day.
    14
    15   Q.   Every day.  I think you said in total roughly 300 times a
    16        day?
    17        A.  Yes, across the whole company, across all its products.
    18
    19   Q.   I understand that.  Are we safe to say that 20 per cent of
    20        that 300 times is devoted to McDonald's products?
    21        A.  No.  It would not be as much as that because
    22        proportionately we do more testing on what we call "high
    23        risk" products which are products which are ready to eat by
    24        the consumer, things like roast, poultry perhaps or recipe
    25        dishes that might have high risk ingredients, we would do
    26        proportionately more testing on those.
    27
    28   Q.   Roughly speaking, can you make a stab at it, how many
    29        documents a day at Sun Valley are generated in pursuance of
    30        McDonald's business?
    31        A.  It is probably about 20 I should think.
    32
    33   Q.   Has that been going on for sometime?
    34        A.  Ever since the business started.
    35
    36   Q.   When did McDonald's first do business with Sun Valley?
    37        A.  In 1984 I think.
    38
    39   Q.   Does the plant work at weekends?
    40        A.  The plant generally shuts down at the weekend.  Our
    41        slaughter plant shuts down on a Friday night.  The further
    42        processing is mostly done in Orleon and I believe that may
    43        operate for a short period on a Saturday morning, but
    44        otherwise it shuts at the weekend.
    45
    46   Q.   So five-day weeks have, 52 weeks of the year?
    47        A.  Yes, that is right.
    48
    49   Q.   For 11 years?
    50        A.  Yes. 
    51 
    52   Q.   20 documents? 
    53        A.  Yes.
    54
    55   Q.   Every one of those five-day weeks?
    56        A.  Yes.
    57
    58   Q.   I am only talking here about the microbiological testing?
    59        A.  Yes.
