The nationwide Clean Food campaign has had good results which are
not always at first sight apparent. There has been a big improvement
in the general concept of fitting out foodshops—such things as tiled
walls and floors, easily cleaned surfaces, coving at floor and ceiling
levels, and so on, are being regarded as standard practice.
"In the autumn an intensive local Clean Food campaign was begun
in which various leaflets and posters were sent out to the foodshops
and were followed by a visit from the food inspector. The food
shopkeeper whose premises are clean and wellkept welcomes inspection
and is always ready to cooperate and it is pleasing to be able to report
that the campaign was well received. Generally the year can be regarded
as one in which allround progress has been maintained together with
a marked improvement in the appreciation of the general public of
food hygiene."
