Food Hygiene Regulations. 1955
We axe indeed fortunate that, on the whole, shopkeepers in
this District have been very co-operative with regard to the Food
Hygiene Regulations, 1955. It is pleasing to note that many traders
seek the Inspectors' advice when contemplating new or additional
work to their premises. Consequently, no really serious breach of
the Regulations has been observed. Generally speaking, local shops
are well abreast of the times respecting the installation of
refrigerated display cabinets and there appears to be an increase
in the sale of frozen foods. As a result of regular visits to
premises within the purview of the Regulations, 140 informal notices
were served which represents a decided decrease on last year's figure
of 196. These figures bear out the fact that such co-operation as
previously mentioned is a distinct advantage.
