Disposal of Condemned Foodstuffs
Meat condemned at the Public Abattoir, wholesale meat markets
or at shops is disposed of, after being dyed green, to firms of
repute for industrial use and some for animal feeding. The disposal
is supervised by the Meat Inspectors and those carcases or
parts not considered suitable for this type of disposal are destroyed
by incineration. The other condemned foodstuffs where not
suitable for industrial use are destroyed.

A 100% inspection is maintained, but this necessitates

Eight District Public Health Inspectors assist the two regular
meat inspectors, on a rota system, with duties carried out after
normal working hours.
