2,464 inspections of food premises were made and 596
repairs and improvements were carried out.
The film-strip on Pood Hygiene made by the Council in
1954 is still in demand, a further 11 copies having been
sold during the year. This makes a total of 138 copies
sold.
During the year the Clean Food Booklet, which is
distributed to food traders, was extensively revised.
This Booklet gives an account of the principles of Pood
Hygiene for all those concerned with food, but particularly
shop keepers, school leavers, restaurant workers and
housewives and those who handle food at home. It also
gives information to food traders regarding the Council's
Pood Hygiene lectures and how to gain a Pood Hygiene
Certificate. It is felt that an attractive Booklet, which
we hope this is, is likely to be of considerable assistance
in the Clean Pood Campaign.
It has been increasingly clear during the last few
years that the film used for Clean Pood lectures has
become very out of date. Indeed, it was made during the
days of food rationing. It has therefore largely lost its
impact. The provision of a replacement for this had become
a necessity and the Council have agreed that negotiations
should be begun to see if other interested organisations
would co-operate in the production of an up-to-date colour
film of high quality. The Central Council for Health
Education are interested in this project and I have
approached a commercial organisation in the field of
sterilising fluids. This firm has itself made excellent
films but the emphasis has, of course, been on advertising
