Inspection and Sanitary and Hygienic
Supervision of Bakehouses and Bakers' Shops.
There are 67 registered bakehouses in the
Borough, 39 of which are underground. Of the
67 bakehouses, 52 are factories and 15 are workshops;
in addition there are 11 retail bakers'
shops in the Borough without bakehouses attached.
During the year under review 440 visits were
made and 56 notices served, principally for the
cleansing of the interiors of bakehouses. A large
amount of cleansing etc. is carried out as the
result of verbal notices to the occupiers.
As already stated, bakehouses and bakers'
shops are supervised mainly by the Council's Food
and Drugs Inspector.
The Sale of Food Order, 1921.
This Order remained in force in virtue of the
Expiring Laws Continuance Act, 1933.
The duty of enforcing this Order is placed on
Metropolitan Borough Councils by the Local
Authorities (Food) Order, 1921.
The greater part of the order has been revoked
except section 7(a) and (c) of Part III and sections
18(a) and (c) and 23 of Part VI.
Part III enforces the labelling of imported
meat as "Imported" or alternatively with a word
or words disclosing the country of origin of the
meat.
"Meat" includes beef, mutton, lamb, pork and
veal but the Order does not apply to bacon, ham
or lard, nor to cooked, canned or potted meat,
sausages or offals, nor does the Order apply to
imported rabbits.
