Ice Cream and Lollies
Bacteriological and chemical analysis of samples taken from
two manufacturers and a storage depot in the Borough show a high
standard of purity and composition.
One manufacturer was registered in December but did not commence
operation.
Some trouble was experienced with samples taken within the
Borough of a product manufactured elsewhere. All possible action
was taken during the year. The retailer has changed his manufacturer
with successful results.
During the year 120 samples of ice cream were submitted to
the Methylene Blue examination.
