Food Shops and Food Stalls.
All food shops, stalls, barrows and the Fulham
Market have been kept under careful supervision during
the year, and two of the sanitary inspectors have been
on special duty, as in previous years, every Friday
and Saturday night with regard to these food premises.
Slaughterhouses.—There are two licensed slaughterhouses
in the Borough situated at :—
No. 611, Fulham Road, and
No. 640, King's Road.
Inspector Manning has made 117 visits of inspection
to these premises during the year.
The total number of animals killed was 1,442,
including 1,170 sheep and lambs, 232 bullocks and
40 pigs. None of the carcases or organs examined
were found to be diseased, with the exception of 24
sheep's livers, which were affected with liver fluke
and were destroyed.
The slaughterhouses, lairs and utensils have been
kept in a cleanly condition.
Milk.—Of 522 samples examined, 3 or 0.57 per
cent., were adulterated. This is a marked decrease
compared with the percentage during the last three
years, viz. :—1.0 per cent, in 1925, 1.6 per cent, in
1924, and 4.5 per cent, in 1923.
Legal proceedings were instituted by the Council
in two cases where milk was found to be deficient in
fat, and in three instances in which whiskey proved,
on analysis, to be below the recognised standard.
Details of these prosecutions will be found on page 89.
