E (2)e Milk and Dairies Regulations, 1949
Dairies and milkshops
The register of dairies and milk stores records the following
registration figures:—
No. of registered distributors 10
No. of dairies 5
No. of milkshops 31
No. of milk producers /retailers 0
Regular inspections have been made with a view to
maintaining the requisite standard of cleanliness.
E (2)f Ice-Cream
123 premises in the Borough are registered for the sale
of ice-cream.
Of 23 manufacturers entered on the Register, only 5
are active (i e. 2 boil mix and 3 cold mix).
Four samples were obtained and forwarded for bacteriological
examination, all of which were scheduled at
Grade 1.
E (3) Meat and Food Inspection
E (3)a Slaughterhouses
There are two privately owned slaughterhouses in which
slaughtering takes place daily, in the evenings of at least
three days, and on every Sunday. This constancy of slaughtering
at irregular hours has been maintained throughout
the year, and the daily hours devoted to meat inspection is
equivalent to the service of a full time Sanitary Inspector. If
the number of animals slaughtered is increased, as is anticipated
in the case of one slaughterhouse, and other duties
are equally pressing, the decline of Sanitary Inspectors
routine work must soon become most evident.
