Only a comparatively small number of samples failed to pass
the Methylene Blue (keeping quality) test or Phosphatase test of
the efficiency of pasteurisation, and subsequent samples taken of
similar supplies proved satisfactory.
In accordance with a standard practice throughout the
County, samples of all milk (including T.T. milk) which is sold to
the public without heat treatment are submitted to routine biological
testing, and it is most satisfactory to be able to record that
none of the 54 samples showed any evidence of the presence of
the tubercle bacillus.

ICE CREAM.
Under the provisions of Section 64 of the Coulsdon and Purley
Act, 93 premises within the District are registered for the sale of
ice cream and a further 3 for the manufacture and sale of this
commodity. In addition, the sale of ice cream is carried on from
25 premises which are exempt from registration. During the year,
72 visits of inspection were made to these premises.
One registration for the sale of ice cream was cancelled because
of the change in character of the general business carried on
at the premises concerned.
