(c) Food Byelaws
Model byelaws under Section 15 of the Food and Drugs Act,
1938, were issued by the Ministry of Food. The byelaws are
divided into three main parts as follows:-
Part I is the interpretation section.
Part II includes those byelaws which apply to
persons handling, wrapping, or delivering
food intended for sale for human consumption.
Part III includes those byelaws which apply to
persons selling or exposing for sale in the
open air food intended for human consumption.
The London County Council are the byelaw making authority
for metropolitan boroughs, and they published draft byelaws
which are identical with the model byelaws except for the
addition of certain administrative clauses. So far the London
County Council's byelaws have not come into force.
