ICE-CREAM
There are 285 ice-cream dealers and 10 manufacturers in this
Borough, an increase of 21 dealers, since last year. Most of the
dealers sold only pre-packed ice cream, obtained from the large
manufacturers.
32 samples of ice-cream were taken with the following results:-
23 samples, Grade I
5 samples, Grade II
3 samples, Grade III
1 sample, Grade IV
In addition:
27 samples were chemically examined for compliance with the prescribed
standards of composition, and all were found to be satisfactory.
Periodical inspections were made to all premises and 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 the
causes of the unsatisfactory gradings.
ICE CREAM (HEAT TREATMENT) REGULATIONS, 1959
Under these Regulations, ingredients used in the manufacture of
ice cream must be pasteurised by one or other of three specified
methods or sterilised, and thereafter kept at a temperature below 28
degrees Fahrenheit until the freezing process is commenced.
Certain types of water ices and iced lollies sufficiently acid to
render this treatment unnecessary are exempted from the Regulations.
ICE CREAM REGULATIONS
The Food Standards (Ice Cream) Regulations, 1959, replace the
previous Order and introduce separate standards for dairy ice-cream
