Certification of Certain Food Products for Export to the
Dominions.
In view of the requirements of the Food Laws in operation
in the Dominions, the system of certification for food
products which are derived from the flesh of cattle, sheep,
swine or goats, or from game or poultry, and are prepared
or packed in England and Wales for export to the
Dominions, has been continued.
The Certifying Officer—usually the Medical Officer of
Health—is required to keep himself informed, by personal
inquiry and in other available ways, as to:—
(1) The sanitary condition, structure and character of premises on
which the food products are prepared, stored or packed, with
special regard to the possibility of contamination of the food
products at any stage.
