Method of Disposal of Condemned Food
The method of disposal of unsound food has remained the same throughout the year. When
a shopkeeper in the Borough has any food for condemnation, he advises the Public Health Inspector
who visits the premises, inspects the food and subsequently issues a Condemnation Certificate.
The food is then collected by a vehicle from the Public Health Department and taken to
either Tottenham or Ashburton Grove for disposal.
