The proportion of ice cream samples falling into Grades
III and IV is slightly better than last year, i.e. 27%
against 30%; but last year 25% of lolly samples fell into
these grades whilst this year none was graded below Grade
II. The number of lolly samples was however much smaller
this year than last.
All vehicles from which unwrapped ice cream is sold
are equipped with wash basins and carry supplies of hot
water, soap, towels and nail brushes.
