During the year 6 samples of frozen egg, contaminated by Salmonella
organisms, were submitted for bacteriological examination, after pasteurisation and
satisfactory reports were received thereon.
Ice Cream
During the year, 17 applications for registration for the sale of ice cream
were approved and 17 premises were removed from the register upon ceasing the sale
of ice cream.
At the end of the year there were 142 registered premises in the Borough.
343 inspections of these premises were made during the year and in 12 instances
notices were served concerning insanitary conditions.

Each of the four samples graded 3 and 4 were followed immediately by
further samples from the two manufacturers concerned; these samples
were reported as satisfactory.

Salmonella organisms were isolated in both instances but the source of
infection in each case was undiscovered.
There were no deaths.
