FOOD POISONING
A copy of the report on the Food Poisoning outbreak which occurred from
23rd June - 9th July, 1963, is given later in the Epidemiology Section. It is
an example of the results of poor food hygiene in a bakery. This bakery does
not appear to subject its staff to any form of medical examination, and the
staff are not properly instructed in hygienic practices. We did not find contamination
of any of the food on sale, or any of the raw materials, but the
mixing bowls, sinks and benches were grossly contaminated.
