Purchaser may have food analysed.—Nothing contained in this Act shall be held to prevent a purchaser of any article of food other than a food inspector 3[or a recognised consumer association, whether the purchaser is a member of that association or not,] from having such article analysed by the public analyst on payment of such fees as may be prescribed and from receiving from the public analyst a report of his analysis: Provided that 4[such purchaser or recognised consumer association shall inform the vendor at the time time of purchase of his or its intention] to have such article so analysed: Provided further that the provision of sub-section (1), sub-section (2) and sub-section (3) of section 11 shall, as far as may be, apply to a 5[purchaser of article of food or recognised consumer association who or which intends] to have such articles so analysed, as they apply to a food inspector who takes a sample of food for analysis: Provided also that if the report of the public analyst shows that the article of food is adulterated, the 6[purchaser or recognised consumer association shall be entitled to get refund of the fees paid by him or it] under this section.
