The following were the conditions adopted by the Council for
granting licences for Grade "A " (Tuberculin Tested) Milk, and
the following report submitted to the Committee will fully explain
these:—
Licences —Grade " A " (Tuberculin Tested) Milk or Grade " A "
Milk.
I beg to report for the information of the Committee that we
have adopted the following standard, the compliance with which
entitles the distributor to a licence to bottle and sell Grade "A"
(Tuberculin Tested) Milk or Grade " A " Milk in this Borough.
The standard here set forth is already being complied with by those
members of the milk trade who are bottling either of these grades
of milk in Bermondsey, and I consider that the same standard should
be adopted for all supplementary licences : —
" Terms and conditions under which licences or supplementary
licences will be granted to distributors of Grade " A " (Tuberculin
Tested) Milk or Grade "A" milk :
1. The milk to be delivered by the producer to the distributor
in sealed unventilated churns labelled with the address of the dairy
and day of production (with the word " morning " or " evening "
as the case may be).
2. Each " Grade " of milk must be kept separate from other milk
until after bottling.
3. The walls and floors of dairy to be constructed of impervious
and jointless material.
4. The floor to have a proper fall to a gully in the open air.
5. Proper washing accommodation and clean overalls to be
provided for the workers.
6. Efficient apparatus for sterilising bottles and other utensils
to be provided on the premises.
7. Bottles and other utensils to be efficiently washed and cleansed
before sterilising.
8. Measures must be taken to sterilise bottles immediately
before filling. The bottles to be kept dry and not stored in open
room after sterilising.
