ICE-CREAM
The number of manufacturers of ice-cream in the Borough is
now 4. Each of them is equipped to produce pasteurised ice-cream,
and production is in every way in accord with the Ice-Cream
(Heat Treatment, etc.) Regulations, 1947/1952. There are 151
premises where ice-cream is not manufactured, but where the commodity
is sold in the main from pre-packed stocks. During the year
268 samples were taken, 162 of ice-cream manufactured in the
Borough, and 106 from shops or itinerant vendors trading in icecream
manufactured outside the Borough.
The high bacteriological standard reflected in the results of
examination of samples of ice-cream, together with inspection of
plant and premises, has shown that processing and storage
conditions are satisfactory and well maintained.
MEAT INSPECTION
The continued increase in the number of animals killed at
Messrs. T. Wall and Sons' slaughterhouse has necessitated the permanent
attendance of a larger staff from the Local Authority and
this, together with the increased amount of overtime spent there,
has had an effect on the other activities of the department.
