Milkshops and Cowsheds, Food Preparation, etc.
The milkshops and cowsheds have given no cause for complaint; the
cowsheds were limewhited and cleansed twice during the year, in accordance
with the provisions of the Dairy and Cowsheds orders, and the milk
vessels and measures of the various milk vendors were satisfactory with
one exception, necessitating a caution to the vendor for uncleanly measure.
The places where foodstuffs are prepared have been periodically visited.
Ice Cream Makers and Vendors.
On visiting the ice cream makers and vendors during the season, the
London County Council (General Powers) Act, 1902 was apparently carefully
complied with. An alien itinerant vendor without name and address
upon barrow was cautioned and at once proceeded to affix the necessary
particulars. The barrow had recently been redecorated and the name
slip forgotten.
Food and Drugs Acts.
Under the Sale of Pood and Drugs Acts fifty-three varied samples
have been purchased and submitted to the Public Analyst for analyses
On analysis one only was found to be adulterated. A summons was
issued against the vendor. Particulars of adulterated sample and
result of proceedings are appended.
