In addition, for some years past it has been the practice to
accept the surrender of food from individual tradesmen who,
realising the danger of exposing for sale a doubtful commodity,
prefer this course to the taking of risks to themselves and probably
also their customers. This spirit of co-operation, together with the
greater trust and friendly relationship which now exist between
tradesmen and the Food Inspectors, may be to some extent the
reason why the people of this Borough have for so many years
enjoyed freedom from any serious outbreak of food poisoning.
I am,
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
Charles Porter.
29th October, 1948. Medical Officer of Health.
