Meat and Other Foods.
During the year a total of 4 tons, 5 cwts. 3 qtrs.
20 lbs. of food was found to he unfit for human consumption.

The following samples of meat and other foods
were submitted for analysis during the year.
Cooking Fat.
Two samples of cooking fat were submitted for
analysis from the Civic Restaurant. Both samples were
found to be genuine, and of similar quality. (The query
was that while both samples appeared to be the same
there was a considerable difference in the price).
Corned Beef.
One sample of corned beef from a consignment
that appeared to be unsound was found to contain 116
parts of tin per million. Although fit for food according
to the sample submitted there was an element of doubt
about the advisability of selling some of the meat and
two boxes were returned to the Meat Depot for observation
and further inspection.
Ice Cream.
Two samples of Ice Cream were submitted for
analysis under the Ice Cream (Heat Treatment) Regulations.
One from an outside manufacturer was reported
as Grade 1 and one from a local manufacturer was
reported as Grade 3.
