ICE CREAM
There are 229 ice-cream dealers and 14 manufacturers in this
Borough, an increase of 30 dealers, and a decrease of 3 manufacturers
since last year. Most of the dealers sold only pre-packed ice-cream,
obtained from the large manufacturers.
During the year 40 samples of ice-cream were taken with the
following results:—
17 samples, Grade I.
11 samples, Grade II.
9 samples, Grade III.
3 samples, Grade IV.
In addition:
26 samples were chemically examined for compliance with the
prescribed standards of composition of ice-cream. Three 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 inspections 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
