Raw Milk Supplies-Brucella Abortus
There is only one farm engaged in milk production in the borough. As a result of
a request from the Public Health Laboratory Service, sampling of raw milk for the
detection of brucella abortus organisms was carried out directly from the farm during
1967. A total of 24 samples was taken and all were found to be negative for this
organism by the ring test.
Ice Cream
During the year 35 premises were added to the register for the sale and storage
of ice cream, leaving a total at the end of the year of 542 premises registered for sale
and storage and five premises for manufacture.
