Although the Hygiene Regulations already cover the sale of milk,
milk drinks and similar beverages from automatic machines, it may not be
out of place to mention that special legislation may eventually be needed
for their more effective control. Members of your analyst's staff have,
on more than one occasion, bought chocolate milk drinks from automatic
machines and have found them to be mouldy on opening. Unfortunately
such purchases are generally made some distance from one's home and it
is, therefore, difficult to make complaints.
I have the honour to be, Mr. Mayor, Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
THOMAS McLACHLAN, A.C.G.F.C., F.R.I.C., M.I.Biol.
Public Analyst.
