INSPECTION OF FOOD
Public Health (Imported Food) Regulations, 1937 - 1948
Ihe Lambeth (Imported Food Regulations Order) 1957
This Order was made by the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries
and Food, and came into operation on 1st January, 1958. The Order
requires the Lambeth Borough Council and its Officers to undertake
the enforcement and execution of the Imported Food Regulations
within the Borough.
The request to the Minister to make the Order became necessary
when Gabriels Wharf (which lies at the extreme northern boundary
of the Borough) became separately owned from Nelsons Wharf (in
the Borough of Southwark) which adjoined it and the two wharves
ceased to have any working connection. Previously the two wharves,
being in the same ownership, were by mutual agreement, administered
by the Southwark Borough Council.
The change-over of administration was smooth and the new
arrangements are working satisfactorily.
Inspection at Shops, Stores, Factories and Wharf
Large quantities of food of all varieties were inspected
and as a result the following food was surrendered as unfit for
human consumption and unsound food certificates were issued.
