It will be seen that two samples of pasteurised milk failed to
satisfy the phosphatase test for efficient heat-treatment and one failed
to satisfy the Methylene blue test for keeping quality. These cases were
reported to the Milk Division of the Ministry of Food to whom a monthly
return is submitted of the samples taken in the Borough together with the
result of the appropriate examinations.
The milk now retailed in Fulham is either the product of "tuberculin
tested" herds or has been "pasteurised" or "sterilised" in accordance
with the provisions of the above Regulations. The use of these special
designations is only permissible by persons duly licensed by the local
authority.
Licences issued under these Regulations are renewable annually on the
1st January, principal licences being granted to retailers occupying premises
within the Borough, whilst supplementary licences are issued to
purveyors who distribute milk in Fulham from premises situated outside.
