Bacteriological Examination of Milk.
As in former years, samples of milk were taken
for bacteriological examination under the above
Order with the view to ascertaining the degree of
cleanliness to which the milk attained.
Duplicate copies of the bacteriological reports
are obtained and are sent or handed to the vendors
from whom the samples are taken. The
results are explained to the vendors if this is
considered necessary, and in cases in which the
reports are unsatisfactory special inspections are
made of the premises, apparatus and utensils and
of the personnel and methods employed in the
cleansing, bottling and general routine. If necessary
the Medical Officers of Health of districts from
which the milk is obtained are communicated
with.
