The conditions under which cream is sold in the streets have become more satisfactory
of late years. The practice of making ice cream sandwiches in the street is becoming less;
ice cream is being more and more sold in the form of small bricks wrapped in grease-proof
paper or the ice cream is enclosed in paper cartons.
The hateful practice of vending ice cream in glasses to be licked by small boys and others
is dying out.
The bacteriological examinations were carried out at the Royal Institute of
Public Health. Samples were delivered at the laboratory of the Institute
immediately after purchase and arrangements were made for the examinations to
be commenced forthwith.
In all cases the ice cream examined was made at premises in the Borough
kept under regular supervision.
In the case of the sample found to contain more than 15 million organisms
per cc. the premises where the ice cream was made were re-inspected and found
to be satisfactory. The maker agreed that in future all utensils used in the
manufacture should be sterilised regularly before use.
