"Samples taken of icecream during the year show a high standard
of bacterial purity and the chemical analyses show a standard well
above the legal requirements. This satisfactory state of affairs is a

entirely due to carelessness, are being affected by the higher standards
in food hygiene and the general trend towards cleaner food during
recent years."
