THE MILK (SPECIAL DESIGNATION) REGULATIONS. 1960.
The above-mentioned Regulations which replace and consolidate
previous Regulations made between and came into force on
the Ist October, i960. The main changes brought about by the new
Regulations which operate as from Ist January, 1961, are as follows:-
(i) Dealers' licences will be issued by the food and
drugs authority for the area in which are situated
the premises at or from which the milk is to be sold.
(ii) Dealers licences no longer restrict sales to the
area of the licensing authority and supplementary
licences are therefore discontinued.
(iii) A Dealers' (pre-packed milk) licence is introduced
which authorises in a single form of licence, the use
of any or all of the appropriate special designations
where milk is obtained by the licensed dealer prepacked,
i.e. in the container in which it is to be
delivered to the consumer, or is pasteurised or
sterilised by the dealer.
(iv) Dealers' licences issued on or after Ist January,
1961, will be valid for five years from that date,
and will be renewable for subsequent quinquennial
periods.
