The Milk Act, 1934.
Milk Marketing Board's Scheme for the Supply of Milk to Schools.
By arrangement with the London County Council samples of milk
delivered to schools in the City under this scheme were taken in course
of delivery to such schools for the purpose of chemical analysis and
bacteriological examination. The results of analysis or examination as
the case may be are communicated in each case to the Head Teachers of
the Schools concerned.
Forty-three samples for bacteriological examination were obtained, all
of which, with one exception, showed bacterial counts well below the
maximum allowed.
In one case the bacterial count was 204,000 per c.c., whereas the
standard for pasteurized milk is 100,000 per c.c. The attention of
the authorities concerned was drawn to the result of the examination, and
subsequent samples obtained from the same vendor proved satisfactory.
Forty-three samples taken for chemical analysis were found to be
genuine.
