Food Inspection.
Upwards of 30,600 tins of meat, fish, fruit, milk, etc., and a
quantity of raw and preserved food of various kinds were surrendered
as unfit for human food. In addition, large quantities of meat, fish
and milk out of condition and not suitable for retail distribution
were received into the Borough for manufacturing purposes, and
the whole of these foodstuffs received special and detailed attention
from the Sanitary Inspectors. Approval for manufacturing purposes
was given as appropriate, particularly with regard to meat
and milk, and salvage where possible was arranged by way of
animal feeding so far as canned fish, vegetables, etc., were concerned.
The total number of cans referred to were made up largely
of condensed milk collected from various retail premises in other
districts and returned to a warehouse within the borough.
