Hammersmith Clean Food Traders' Guild.
The Hammersmith Clean Food Traders' Guild which was
formed in 1948 to encourage more hygienic practices in the preparation,
handling and sale of foodstuffs, continued its work
during the year. Control of the Guild is in the hands of a
Committee comprising representatives of the Health Committee,
nominees of the Food Trades Associations and the Chamber of
Trade and Commerce and representatives of the Employees'
Trade Unions, the majority being Trade Members.
Conditions of membership provide that reports shall be
submitted to the Committee at least once a year in regard to
each trader's premises. These reports indicated that the standard

At the end of the year the membership of the Guild was 95.
