Food Inspection.
There was a considerable diminution in the amount of. unfit
food dealt with in the year as compared with the previous years,
due largely to the absence of direct enemy action. Included in the
foodstuff surrendered were 23,012 containers of preserved meat, fish,
milk, fruit, vegetables, etc., a large quantity of which was salvaged
in accordance with the scheme of salvage, instituted by the Ministry
of Food. In addition to the above-mentioned unfit foods, a very
large quantity of meat and milk has been received in the Borough
for manufacturing purposes, and has been dealt with under the
supervision of the Sanitary Inspectors, each of, whom is a certificated
Meat and other foods Inspector.
