0 fat from animals, used for making soap and, especially in the past, candles --
We import our tallow from soft currency areas.
I can, however, assure him that there is at present no danger of a return to soap rationing through shortage of tallow.
For example, industrial applications that use tallow by-products as raw materials.
The resultant products would still consist of edible fat, grease or tallow (according to the raw material processed) and meat meal.
A good quality edible tallow might keep for six months, but a sub-standard tallow would not.
Of 11,777 tons of edible tallow which have come in this year, only 511 tons have been transferred to stocks of technical tallow.
It must at least be made clear that unprocessed offal, waste water, fat and tallow still have to be treated.
That material went to the renderer's plant to be disposed of as bonemeal or tallow.
