Milk
The Milk (Special Designation) (Pasteurised and Sterilised
Milk) Regulations, 1949, and the Milk (Special Designation)
(Raw Milk) Regulations, 1949, which became operative on
the 1st October, 1949, re-enact with amendments the provisions
of the Milk (Special Designations) Regulations, 1936/1948.
Briefly, they require the licensing of traders selling sterilised
milk in addition to those selling pasteurised and tuberculin
tested milks.
A person proposing to sell a special designation as laid down
by the Regulations must apply to the licensing authority of
the area in which the premises from which the milk is to be
sold for a licence to use such designation.
Where a distributor holding a Dealer's Licence in one area
wishes to sell the same designation in another area the latter
authority must issue a Dealer's Supplementary Licence
authorising the use of such designation.
