ICE CREAM AND LOLLIES
There are two manufacturers and 185 retailers of Ice Cream
in the Borough, including 49 itinerant vendors.
During the year 14 samples of ice cream have been submitted to
the Methylene Blue examination. The results, in accordance with the
Provisional gradings, are set out below.
Two of these unsatisfactory examples were manufactured outside
the Borough and appropriate action was taken in each case.
