SPECIAL DESIGNATED MILK.
Producers of, and dealers in, special designated milk are
required to obtain licences annually.
During the year licences were granted as follows:—
For sale of Pasteurised Milk 20
,, Certified Milk 4
Grade "A" (T.T.) Milk 7
Grade "A" Milk 3
,, Grade "A" (Pasteurised) Milk 2
In my opinion it would be fairer to the public and eventually
to all concerned if the Milk (Special Designations) Order, 1923,
was amended so as to apply to milk which is Pasteurised and not
designated as such.
MEAT AND OTHER FOODS.
Under the Public Health (Meat) Regulations, 1924, notice
of intention to slaughter animals has to be sent by the butchers
to the Town Hall. In this way the Inspectors are enabled to
examine the carcase and organs of every animal killed for human
consumption.
The year 1932 stands out from recent years on account of
the greater amount of slaughtering done and the quantity of
meat surrendered and destroyed. These increases were due to
the use of one slaughter-house in the Borough by an outside
butcher from Ilford for a period extending from 10th of
January to 19th of April inclusive. The bulk of this slaughtering
took place on Sundays, and it was found necessary to keep this
slaughter-house under almost continuous supervision during
its use.
During the year the carcases and offal of 2,033 animals have
been inspected under the Regulations, and the carcases and offal
of 9 sheep and 1 lamb were destroyed, in addition to the offal
destroyed where the carcases were sound and wholesome.
