ICE-CREAM
There are 264 ice-cream dealers and 12 manufacturers in this
Borough, an increase of 5 dealers', since last year. Most of the dealers
sold only pre-packed ice-cream, obtained from the large manufacturers.
31 samples of ice-cream were taken with the following results:-
26 samples, Grade I
2 samples, Grade II
3 samples, Grade III
In addition:
31 samples were chemically examined for compliance with the prescribed
standards of composition, one sample was found to be 5 percent
deficient in fat, but subsequent samples taken from the same source
were satisfactory
