Disposal of Unsound Food.
The bulk of the food condemned as being unfit for human
consumption is removed from the premises concerned by the
Borough Engineer's refuse disposal service. When suitable
for animal feeding the food is collected and included with
kitchen waste. Unsuitably packed and totally unfit foods are
removed as trade refuse and the cost of removal is charged
to the owners in accordance with the Council's fixed scale
of charges.
In special cases, where large quantities of food are
condemned, arrangements are made, under suitable guarantees
from the owners,for the foods to be utilised for animal feeding
or non-edible industrial purposes such as 3oap, starch,
or manure making.

of the registered distributors.

of milk per week; in the same period over three-quarters
of a million bottles are filled. Milk produced from these
