SECTION G
INSPECTION AND SUPERVISION OF FOOD PREMISES
AND FOOD HANDLING
The numbers and types of food premises in the area are noted
under Section "F" of the report, as are the numbers of food
premises by type registered under Section 16 of the Food & Drugs
Act, 1955 and the number of dairies registered under the Milk &
Dairies Regulations, 1949.
Inspections of registered food premises are carried out from
time to time and further action taken as necessary to ensure the
premises and method of production being maintained at a satisfactory
standard.
Members of the Public Health Inspectors staff from time to time
give lectures with film strip displays to stimulate and maintain
interest in food hygiene and the general work of the Public Health
Department.
FOOD INSPECTION
Reference to special examinations of consignments of food
follow in this section of the report and while details of the quantity
condemned are noted, it is not practicable to collate total quantities.
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.
There are two large wholesale grocery Depots 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.
