E(5) Food Hygiene.
The Food Hygiene (General) Regulations 1960.
Almost without exception, the sale of food is limited
to shop premises, and neither street trading nor mobile
vehicle trading seems to have any attraction for the average
food purchaser in the Borough of Erith.
During the year considerable improvements have been
carried out at foodshops, and having regard to the availability
of ample food supplies it is apparent that the majority
of trade.rs are most conscious of a discriminating purchasing
public, and this in itself considerably aids an all-round
improvement in the display of foodstuffs in an endeavour
to attract the hygienic minded purchasers.
All the 34 public houses in the Borough have been
inspected as a result of which many sanitary and other
improvements have been carried out, and where necessary,
recommendations have been made with a view to improving
food service. Liaison exists with the Licensing Justices concerning
the transfer of Licences.
