28. FOOD HYGIENE AND FOOD AND DRUGS ADMINISTRATION
The Food Division is concerned with food production and sale, food handling and
the hygiene of food premises, the bacteriological and chemical quality of foods and
drugs, labelling requirements and the licensing and registration provisions of the
Food and Drugs Act, 1955. The Division is also responsible for the application
and enforcement of all Orders, Regulations and Standards relating to food.
CLEAN FOOD SCHEME
The Council is pursuing a Clean Food policy and, during 1965, 26 lectures were
given to a total of 155 food handlers and 103 certificates of attendance were awarded
to those who completed the courses. In addition, seven lectures were given by
public health inspectors to 240 members of women's organizations and other groups.
FOOD HYGIENE CERTIFICATES
These certificates are awarded in respect of those school meals canteens, and other
food premises in the Borough, where the standard of construction and hygiene is of
a high order, and where members of the food handling staff have attended the courses
of lectures in food hygiene organized by the Council. All certificates are renewed
annually subject to new members of the staff attending the lectures and having passed
a chest X-ray examination. The lecture scheme is now conducted with a series of
three talks by public health inspectors in each course dealing with food poisoning
and food infections, personal hygiene and hygiene of premises, and ending with a
talk on the law relating to food and food handling. All talks are illustrated with
flannelgraph, film-strips, coloured slides and films, and are normally followed by a
period for questions and general discussion.
