SECTION E.
INSPECTION AMD SUPERVISION OF FOOD.
MILK SUPPLY.
There are no cowkeepers in the district and we have only one
daily where milk is handled or treated. The remaining 57 premises on
the register retail pre-packed supplies. In addition there are ten milk
purveyors who occupy premises in other districts, hut retail in Barking.

There were, daring the year, 41 samples of milk submitted to
biological examination for the presence of tubercle.
In four cases the guinea pig died prematurely.
In one case the result was positive.
I am glad to record that, apart from the Tuberculin Tested
Milk retailed under that designation, the whole of the supplies in
Barking have been treated satisfactorily either by Pasteuri sation or
Sterilisation.

the year for the sale of graded milks under the Milk (Special Designations)
