Pears.—During the course of inspection the attention
of the Sanitary Inspectors was called to some pears which
had apparently been sprayed and showed the presence of
a green powder deposit.
The Public Analyst reported the presence of copper
compound on the skins of the pears, i.e., a preparation of
copper equivalent to 0.02 grains of copper per pound of
pear.
The vendors were advised to surrender the pears which
was willingly done in every case.
Food Premises.—'Seventy-seven premises were registered
under the London County Council (General Powers)
Act, 1932, for the preparation or manufacture of sausages
or potted, pressed, pickled or preserved meat, fish, or
other food intended for sale.
Milk Supply.—During the year 345 samples of milk
were taken and submitted to the Public Analyst for
analysis, the results of which are shown in a later part
of this report. No samples were examined for the presence
of Tubercle Bacilli.
During the year it was not necessary to serve a notice
requiring the suspension of the sale of milk under the
Dairies, Cowsheds and Milkshops Order.
In cases where infectious disease occurs in the families
of milk roundsmen, the employers are advised to suspend
the roundsmen for a period of seven days.
