Food Hygiene
During the year, six lectures on food hygiene were arranged for
persons employed in the food trade in the Borough. There was a
total attendance of 69.
Films were shown at each lecture and particular emphasis was
placed on personal cleanliness and the proper storage of food.
The attendance was not very encouraging and it continues to
be very difficult to get people to come along. Those who did attend
showed considerable interest.
Food Hygiene Regulations, 1955
During the year, legal proceedings were taken in respect of two
premises for contravention of the Food Hygiene Regulations. In
one case, four infringements were proved against the proprietor of
a small cafe and the magistrate imposed fines of £11 with £6.6.0 costs.
In the other case, which involved a factory bakehouse, six infringements
were proved and fines totalling £69 were imposed and £31.10.0
costs awarded to the Council.
