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 Medical Officer of Health. In this way the Inspectors are
enabled to examine the carcase and organs of every animal killed
for human consumption.
During the year the carcases and meat offal of 178 animals
have been inspected under the Regulations. Meat offal weighing
11 lbs. was condemned, surrendered and destroyed.
The following were also condemned and destroyed:—
Article. Reason. Weight.
6 Tins of Ham Putrefaction 50 lbs.
1 Case of Haddock Putrefaction 91 lbs.
1 Leg of Lamb Caseous Lymphangitis 3½ lbs.
1 Flank and Topside of Fibrosis of the 36 lbs.
Argentine Beef Musculature
Total 180½ lbs.
Articles of food brought from London markets and found
to be unsound on arrival at their destination are submitted for
examination, condemned, surrendered and destroyed, and a
"condemnment" note is given, which enables the dealer to
obtain credit from the wholesaler. This arrangement is quite
good and results in prompt notification.
