Ice Cream
There are 401 premises in the Borough registered for the sale of ice cream.
There are only three registered premises in the Borough manufacturing ice cream,
and all are equipped in accordance with the Ice Cream (Heat Treatment) Regulations,

Ice cream is obtained from these three manufacturers in the Borough or from five
manufacturers outside the Borough. A total of 59 samples from these manufacturers
was taken during the year and submitted for bacteriological examination.

The five local samples placed in Grade 4 were followed by an inspection of the factory
and plant, and repeat samples proved to be satisfactory.
The three samples of ice cream in Grade 4 taken from products manufactured
outside the Borough, were followed up with the firms concerned, and subsequent
samples proved to be satisfactory.
The four samples of ice lollies were reported upon satisfactorily, but were not placed
in the grades used for ice cream.
Synthetic Cream
A total of 42 samples of synthetic cream was taken during the year and all were
from local manufacturers. In all cases reports from the laboratory indicated that the
