Manufacture and Sale of Ice Cream

On receipt of a Grade 3 or 4 report it is the practice in this
Borough to obtain further samples from a vendor before administrative
action is taken. It was not necessary during the year to
have recourse to "administrative action".
Of the 79 samples taken during the current year, one was of
the "soft" variety.
Quantitative Analysis—Standards for the composition of ice
cream are contained in the Food Standards (Ice-Cream) Regulations,
1959.
Some 79 samples were submitted for examination and all except
one proved satisfactory.
Blackheath and Woolwich Common Fairs
At Easter, Whitsun and the August Bank Holiday, many thousands
of Londoners from this and adjacent Boroughs once again
availed themselves of the opportunity of making a visit to these
sources of entertainment.
