ICE CREAM.
The wholesale introduction of ice cream conservators and
freezing cabinets and the vast increase in the production of
wrapped ice cream have led to a considerable increase in the
number of applications made to the Council for the registration
of premises used for the manufacture, sale and/or storage of
this commodity.
Many types of business now wish to sell ice cream, in
conjunction with their main business. Tobacconists, newsagents,
fancy goods stores, stationers, general stores, greengrocers,
fishmongers and butchers have all made application to be registered
and the Council has had to give careful consideration as to
whether, in its opinion, ice cream can safely be sold from such
premises. In certain cases, written undertakings have been
secured that the ice cream shall be prepared and stored quite
separately from other goods, and that the staff serving ice cream
shall not handle other produce sold in the shop.
The following statement sets out the types of premises
registered under Section 14, Food and Drugs Act, 1938, for the
