Hygiene in Catering Establishments.
In view of the importance of the catering industry in Westminster,
the City Council gave consideration to the Report of the Catering Trade
Working Party which was published on the 31st January, 1951. The
City Council welcomed the Report and considered that it would make
a substantial contribution to focussing public attention on the essential
need for high standards of hygiene in kitchens and in the serving of food.
It considered that the Report would be of the utmost value to the
Council's Sanitary Inspectors in securing compliance with the requirements
of the Food and Drugs Act, 1938, and in controlling standards of
hygiene in places where food is prepared and sold to the public as meals.
