Of these the following 35 samples were unsatisfactory:-
5 Cooked chicken and chicken dishes
14 Cooked meat
16 Ice Cream
Investigations were carried out and recommendations made, all samples taken
since being satisfactory.
A check has been made on the many small manufacturers producing meat pies
since these are a regular item in the mid-day meal of many people in this area.
Generally the meat content of these products is below the minimum required by
the Meat Pie and Sausage Roll Regulations (i.e. 25%). The producers have been
cautioned and informed of the requirements and. in all cases, some improvement
has been effected.
Liquid Egg Pasteurisation
There are two plants in the borough where liquid egg is pasteurised. The
shortage of eggs being even more acute than last year both plants ceased
pasteurising for lengthy periods during the year.
The satisfactory standard of hygiene of former years was maintained.
Seven samples of egg taken proved satisfactory when subjected to the alphaamylas
e test.
Mi Ik Supply-Samples
Twelve samples were submitted for chemical analysis, of these two were
slightly deficient in solids-not-fat content. Investigation showed that this
was due to the seasonal variation occurring when cows are put out to grass in
the spring. The average fat and solids-not-fat content of the ordinary milk
samples analysed was 3.6% and 8.5% respectively, and of the superfatted variety
4.6% and 8.7%.
