SECTION G
INSPECTION AND SUPERVISION OF FOOD
FOOD INSPECTION
The amount of food-stuffs surrendered owing to deterioration
or damage is largely related to the extensive work of food manufacture
and distribution in the Borough.
Under the direction of the various Departments of the Ministry
of Food, much inferior food material is received into the
Borough for manufacturing purposes subject to control by the Local
Authority, and the Sanitary Inspectors carry out necessary examinations
to ensure that only sound material is used; this accounts
generally for the bulk surrenders of meat.
Two large wholesale grocery Depots are within the Borough,
and hence surrenders of canned and packeted goods are made to
this Authority; these surrenders constitute the major part of such
foodstuff noted.
The following list collated for convenience shows some details
of the surrendered food-stuffs:
Bacon 256 lbs.
Bakers Sundries 19 cwts. 2 qrs. 3 lbs.
