Milk and Milk Supply.
The following samples were submitted for analysis:—
987 of whole new milk.
1 of separated milk.
14 of condensed milk.
Of these seven were reported against as being adulterated or not up
to standard. Five contained extraneous water, and two were
deficient in milk fat. Proceedings were taken in one of these cases
and it was dismissed under the Probation of Offenders Act on
payment of £1 costs. In the six other cases, the Public Health
Committee, after considering the amount of adulteration and
circumstances of sale, decided not to prosecute the vendors but gave
instructions for warning letters to be sent in each case.
90 samples of milk were taken from the early morning delivery
to hospitals in the Borough. 10 on delivery to Wandsworth Prison,
and 36 from the milk delivered to the County Council Schools
in the Borough. All these samples were reported as genuine.
