     1        A.  Of course.
     2
     3   Q.   -- the total?
     4
     5   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  But that is the whole basis of the standard
     6        of testing?
     7        A.  Yes.
     8
     9   Q.   The per gramme way of doing it?
    10        A.  Yes, that is correct.
    11
    12   MR. MORRIS:  I have finished with that document.  I want to look
    13        at the one that is all in French.  It is tab 8B.  Do you
    14        have that?
    15        A.  I have.
    16
    17   Q.   It is called headed Cargill Foods France?
    18        A.  Yes.
    19
    20   Q.   Can you just explain?  This is as the food arrives at
    21        Orleon from Sun Valley, is it?
    22        A.  This is as the meat, the bins of meat arrive.
    23
    24   Q.   So this is, sort of, linked to the previous document.  I
    25        will try to be brief on this then.  What does it mean when
    26        it says in the first major section under Bin Number
    27        "GR/040/6 Defaut Poulet Oesophagus"?  What does that mean?
    28        A.  That must have -- a piece of oesophagus must have been
    29        found in that meat.
    30
    31   Q.   Is that undesirable?
    32        A.  Well, yes, obviously it is.
    33
    34   Q.   Because oesophagus contains bacteria, yes?
    35        A.  Well, yes.  I am actually not sure, I mean, I am not
    36        that fluent in French and I would have to check actually if
    37        that was what they meant, but I would assume that it is
    38        what they meant.
    39
    40   Q.   So this analyses each bin as it is found, as it arrives.
    41        If we turn over two pages -- I have not any numbers on mine
    42         -- it starts off:  "Melange McDonald" ---
    43        A.  Yes.
    44
    45   Q.    -- "pour Sandwich".  If we look at the second box down, it
    46        says Emulsion temperature before melange, which is mix, is
    47        it not?
    48        A.  Yes.
    49
    50   Q.   0 to 4 degrees.  It says 4.6.  So, that is above the range 
    51        that is acceptable, is it? 
    52        A.  It is slightly above the range. 
    53
    54   Q.   It has not been rejected, has it?
    55        A.  Well, the target is 0 to 4.
    56
    57   MR. RAMPTON:  Had not Mr. Morris, my Lord, better ask
    58        Dr. Pattison what the word "emulsion" actually means in
    59        this context so that we know what we are talking about.
