Milk and Dairies Amendment Act, 1922.
As powers are now given to Local Authorities not only to refuse
registration of milk-sellers, but also to remove the names of sellers
from the register, it would be convenient for the Inspectors and
others administering the Act, if some of the conditions which we
consider sufficient to warrant us refusing to register, or erasing a
name from the register, were set out on back of the Registration
Form.
In consultation with the Food Inspectors I have drawn up the
following conditions for signature by the person applying for registration:-
"I, the undersigned, hereby give an undertaking that I will
comply with the following conditions, while holding a certificate
of registration as a milk trader.
1. The milk container, metal or earthenware, will be nonabsorbent
with a tight-fitting cover, which will
always be in position when not serving.
2. No milk will be stored in any living or sleeping room.
3. The container, cover, and measures will be kept clean,
and scalded out at least once a day, and always before
using each morning.
4. Paraffin or similar oil, vegetables, fish, uncooked meat or
offal will not be sold from or stored in the shop.
5. If jams, syrups and pickles are sold from open jars, a
tight-fitting cover will be provided and kept in
position except when serving.
6. If bacon and cooked meats are sold, they will be kept
in a fly-proof receptacle.
7. The floor and fittings of the shop will always be kept
clean and free from dust.
8. No "milk and water" will be sold from the premises.
