In respect of two other butchers, who slaughter
in private slaughter-houses outside the Borough, I received
similar intimations, and that the carcases would
be brought home at a stated time, although the meat
is inspected where slaughtered.
The premises where the various foodstuffs are
sold, whether cooked or uncooked, have received my
attention, and it is satisfactory to record that no case
was reported to the Public Health Committee for proceedings
to be taken in respect of diseased or unsound
food.
The list of unsound food voluntarily surrendered
for destruction during the year I herewith append, and
I have continued my usual practice when dealing with
unsound foods surrendered, by issuing a certificate
stating the article had been destroyed. This, I may
repeat, enables the tradesman to get the money he paid
for the article destroyed refunded.
