(j) Clean Food Campaign.
Activities of the Council's Officers to maintain a satisfactory
standard of hygiene in relation to the sale and distribution of
food were continued throughout the year, 2,354 visits being paid
to food premises. In addition arrangements were made through
the medium of the Central Office of Information and the film
distributors for the exhibition at cinemas of a film entitled
"Another Case of Food Poisoning." This film was also
exhibited at food factories in the Borough and was preceded
by a short explanatory talk to the employees of these food
factories.
Educational films were shown at Bromley Public Hall to
members of the food trade in the Borough.
Advantage was taken of the Metropolitan Boroughs
Golden Jubilee Exhibition setting out progress in local government
during the past 50 years to show the progress with regard
to the production of food and food hygiene generally.
The report of the Catering Trade Working Party is now
receiving consideration by the Central Government and included
among the recommendations of the Working Party is one
which recommends the registration of all food premises as a
prerequisite to the improvement of food hygiene standards.
Similarly the report of Manufacture of Meat Products
Working Party is receiving the consideration of the Ministries
of Health and Food.
