Milk (Special Designations) Regulations.
Under the above Regulations three designations are prescribed—
Tuberculin Tested, Pasteurised and Sterilised.
Tuberculin Tested milk must be supplied in a properly closed
container. If the container is a bottle, the cap must bear the address
of the premises at which the bottle was filled and the words " Tuberculin
Tested Milk." Any other type of container must be closed with a
tightly fitting cover and suitably sealed and labelled.
Pasteurised milk must be delivered in containers closed at the
dairy where they were filled, with a cap or cover over-lapping the lip
the container and labelled " Pasteurised Milk."
All persons who pasteurise or sterilise, or deal in special designation
milk, are required to hold licences, which (except in the case of producers
of raw milk) are issued by Food and Drugs Authorities.
The Milk (Special Designations) (Specified Areas) Order, 1951,
requires that all milk sold by retail (other than in catering establishments
as part meal or refreshment) in the areas specified must be sold
under one or other of the special designations. The whole of the County
of London is included in such areas.

One licence to sterilise milk was issued, and is included in the
above figures.
Details of examination of samples of pasteurised and sterilised milk
are given on page 35.

the methods suggested by the Ministry of Health. There are three such
Premises registered in the Borough.
