INSPECTION AND SUPERVISION OF FOOD.
FOOD SUPPLIES.
The supervision of the food supplies of the community is
one of the most important duties which devolve upon the
Public Health Service.
It is imperative that all persons engaged in the handling
of food should pay strict attention to cleanliness, and with
this object in view the arrangements made for notices
to be exhibited in the lavatories of premises where food is
prepared and/or sold were continued.
Food Premises.—No premises were registered under
the Public Health (London) Act. 1936, for the preparation
or manufacture of sausages or potted, pressed, pickled or
preserved meat, fish, or other food intended for sale.
The total number of food premises on register is 100.
Milk Supply.—During the year 370 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.
