SLAUGHTERHOUSES.
There were 2 licensed slaughterhouses in the
Borough at the end of 1927, situated at:—
294, Bethnal Green Road.
354, Bethnal Green Road.
The L.C.C. discontinued licensing a third slaughterhouse
in view of its non-use during the previous year.
Visits were made to slaughterhouses by the
Food Inspector twice weekly during the year.
PUBLIC HEALTH (MEAT) REGULATIONS, 1924.
During the year 1927, visits were made to the
slaughterhouses for the purpose of inspecting animals
before slaughter and their carcases and offal after
slaughter. Two of the slaughterhouses were used
regularly during the year. The third is referred to
above. On the whole the cattle, sheep, pigs, etc.,
killed were of good quality, only one animal being
seized as unfit for food. No prosecution followed
this seizure, the Meat Inspector's attention having
been called to the condition of the animal, which died
during the night.
