THE PUBLIC HEALTH (REGULATIONS AS TO FOOD) ACT, 1907-
FOREIGN MEAT.
In accordance with the above Regulations the Local Government Board have from
time to time caused to be published in the London Gazette, Notices in respect of labels
which have been declared admissible as Official Certificates in respect of Pork and other
edible portions of the pig which have been subjected to inspection in the particular
country to which such Notice refers.
The expression " Official Certificate" in the Public Health (Foreign Meat)
Regulations, 1908, includes a prescribed label or mark which is accepted as evidence
that the pig from which the meat is derived has been certified by a competent authority
in the place of origin to be free from disease at the time of slaughter, and that the
meat has been certified by the like authority to have been dressed or prepared, and
jiacked with the needful observance of all requirements for the prevention of danger
arising to public health from the meat as an article of food.
The Official Certificate affords a valuable indication as to the extent of examination
it is necessary to make of such imported carcases under the Foreign Meat Regulations.
It does not, however, exempt meat from liability to inspection in this country.
During the year under review eight certificates have been recognised, and the
following is a list of the countries in respect of which Official Certificates have now
been issued:—
Denmark.
The Netherlands.
The Dominion of Canada.
The Dominion of New Zealand.
Belgium.
The Commonwealth of Australia.
