Unsound Food.
Any food which is suspected to be unsound is examined by
the Council's Pood Inspector. If it is considered to be unfit for
human consumption it is surrendered for destruction and a
condemnation certificate is issued. The number of such certificates
issued during 1953 was 2,646 and the following table
gives particulars of the foods concerned which were destroyed
