INSPECTION OF FOOD PREMISES
Food premises in the Borough number more than 2,000 and routine inspection
was carried out during the year as vigorously as availability of staff would permit,
with a total of 2,772 visits of inspection and 1,108 revisits. A summary of the work
done and improvements carried out (total 1,451) at food premises during 1965
following these inspections is given in Table 13.
The results have confirmed that it is good policy to send an informal letter to the
trader concerned whenever contraventions of the Food Hygiene Regulations are
found on inspection, in order to give him a reasonable opportunity of carrying out the
necessary works. By following this procedure it was only necessary to resort to legal
proceedings on two occasions (see Table 14 for details).
Table 15 on page 128 gives details of the numbers of food premises in the Borough
It also shows the various categories of premises and information as requested by the
Ministry of Health concerning the proportion of such premises which comply with
the requirements of Regulations 16 and 19 of the Food Hygiene (General) Regulations,
1960, dealing with the provision of wash-hand basins and sinks.
MILK AND DAIRIES (GENERAL) REGULATIONS, 1959
During the year, 35 persons were registered as distributors of milk in accordance
with the provisions of Regulation No. 8, and at the end of the year there remained
on the register two dairies and 152 distributors of milk, in respect of 221 separate
premises.
The Regulations provide, amongst other things, that it shall be an offence for
any milk bottle to be used for containing milk unless it is in a state of thorough
cleanliness immediately before use. The two dairies now operating in the Borough
both have up-to-date bottle washing equipment in use, and nine samples of washed
bottles, taken at random from the bottling plants at these premises immediately
before the filling machine, were found on bacteriological examination to be
satisfactory.
Complaints were received from members of the public on 11 occasions during the
