During the year 46 samples of ice-cream were taken with
the following results :—
23 samples, Grade I.
11 samples, Grade II.
9 samples, Grade III.
3 samples, Grade IV,
In addition :
24 samples were chemically examined for compliance with the
prescribed standards of composition of ice-cream. Five of these
samples did not contain the requisite amount of fat and the
vendors were cautioned. Samples subsequently taken at the
premises were satisfactory.
Periodical visits were made to all premises. A "Code of
Standards" was sent to each new dealer and inspections were
carried out before the registration of any new premises to ensure
that they were satisfactory and all requirements fully understood.
Copies of the Public Analyst's reports on samples taken were
forwarded to the vendors concerned. In the case of Grade III
and IV samples, special investigations were made at the premises
in an effort to detect some fault which may have caused the
unsatisfactory gradings.
