The method of disposal of food surrendered or condemned as unsound.
Animal products where practicable were released to firms specialising in the
manufacture of glue and similar commodities and from whom satisfactory guarantees
as to disposal have been obtained. As an additional precaution unfit meat
is stained.
Some vegetable waste which was suitable was diverted to approved sources
for utilisation as pig food.
The balance was destroyed by incineration in accordance with arrangements
entered into with Camberwell Borough Council.
