2,010 inspections of food premises were made and 408 repairs and improvements
were carried out.
The film-strip on food hygiene made by the Council in 1954 is still in demand,
a further six copies having been sold during the year, bringing the total number of
copies so far sold to 161.
During the year the Clean Food Booklet, was again widely distributed amongst
food traders. This booklet gives an account of the principles of food 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 food hygiene lectures and describes the
conditions under which Food Hygiene Certificates are issued. This booklet has been
of considerable assistance in the Clean Food Campaign.
New film—"The Poisoners"
A new food hygiene film in colour entitled "The Poisoners" was completed towards
the end of the year and was presented to the Public Health Committee of the Council.
This film was produced by the Council with advice and assistance from the Medical
Director of the Central Council for Health Education and with a financial contribution
from Messrs. Domestos, Ltd., makers of detergents and sterilizers. The film is now
being used in conjunction with other films and film strips in the lectures given by
Public Health Inspectors as part of the Council's Clean Food Scheme.
