premises used for the preparation of certain specified articles of food must be registered
with the local authority.
FOOD HYGIENE (GENERAL) REGULATIONS, 1955 AND 1960
The ever increasing tendency to the sale of prepacked foodstuffs is excellent from
the food hygiene standpoint. It means that if conditions of production are satisfactory,
a hygienically sound article reaches the home of the consumer - a feat which is the goal
of all regulations concerned with food handling.
Again, the constantly reducing number and increasing size of food production units
usually - but initially not always - results in more modern and more hygienic methods
of food production and handling. However, whether in food factory, cafe kitchen or
foodshop, cleanly personal habits need to be pursued at all times It is this personal
element that can so often be the cause of needless trouble.
In three cases, legal proceedings were instituted for contravention of the Regulations:
