Grade 1 and 2 samples can be considered satisfactory; only 20%
of the samples taken from any one vendor should be of Grade 3 quality,
and none of Grade 4.
Meat and Other Foods.
There are no slaughterhouses within the Borough, and no slaughtermen's
licences were issued under the provisions of the Slaughter of
Animals Act 1958, during the year 1959.
Food and Drugs Act, 1955.
The inspection of food premises has formed an important part of
the work of the Public Health Inspectors during the past year. 1,248
visits were made to premises in which foodstuffs, intended for human
consumption, were prepared, stored or sold. All food premises, whether
or not they are registered, must comply with the Food Hygiene Regulations
1955, and a considerable amount of work has been done under
these Regulations during the year. In general, it has been found that
food traders within the Borough are co-operative and I have reason
to believe that the assistance and advice given by the Department is
appreciated.
