ICE CREAM (HEAT-TREATMENT)
REGULATIONS. 1947
The above Regulations were introduced in 1947 to control the
preparation and subsequent treatment of Ice Cream.
These require that after initial preparation by adequate heattreatment
and rapid freezing, ice cream must be protected from
contamination and kept at a temperature not exceeding 28°F.
Bacteriological standards hare not been adopted as, at present,
they are not considered sufficiently reliable, but a modified Methylene
Blue Test is, however, recommended as a provisional test of bacterial
cleanliness, and four grades have been defined as a tentative measure.
During the year under review the following samples were examined:-
| Grade | Wrapped | Taken from Bulk | Ice Lollies | Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 33 | 7 | 89 | |
| 2 | 11 | 8 | - | 19 |
| 3 | 7 | 14 | - | 21 |
| 6 | 23 | - | 29 | |
| Totals | 62 | 89 | 7 | 158 |
