BACTERIOLOGICAL EXAMINATION OF FOOD.
During 1911, as in the two previous years, a number of samples of food, 20 in all,
were taken with proper precautions and submitted to Dr. Eastes for bacteriological
examination. Of the 20, 18 were milk, and of these 7 were adversely reported upon.
In each case the attention of the vendor was drawn to the fact that the
bacteriologist's report was unsatisfactory, and wherever possible the Medical Officer of
Health of the district whence the milk came, was put in possession of the facts and
asked to take action.
Certification of Meat Food Products.— During the year the Council having
assented, the Local Government Board designated me certifying officer in connection
with the export of meat food products to the United States of America and the
Philippine Islands, in view of the requirements of the Food Laws in operation in
those countries.
The application to the Board for the designation of an officer was sent in the first
instance by Messrs. Keevil and Best, of Carlisle Place, who seem to send a certain
amount of prepared food, hams, etc., to the Philippines.
The object of the certification is to assure the authorities of the countries with
whom arrangements have been entered into, that the premises in which the food is
prepared are in a good sanitary condition and regularly inspected, and that the food
used is sound.
