English Frozen Whole Egg Plant.—On the 25th April, 1960,
a Frozen Whole Egg production plant became operational at
Payne's Wharf, Borthwick Street, S.E.8. The construction of this
plant over a period of approximately one year had been supervised
by the Food Inspectors and every effort has been made to ensure
a high standard of hygiene. In producing English Frozen Whole
Egg for the Egg Marketing Board the manufacturers anticipated
that the plant would eventually break 360,000 eggs (1,000 cases)
per day.
During the year, the product has been sampled for chemical
and bacteriological examinations on seven occasions and in each
instance has been satisfactory.
Export Certificates.—Many consignments of meat are exported
from the Cold Stores located within the Borough and each
has to be accompanied by an appropriate "Certificate" to the effect
that such consignments have been examined and are considered fit
for export for human consumption.
