FOOD.
IV!eat and Other Foods.
Under the Public Health (Meat) Regulations, 1924,
17,902 carcases were inspected, and a large amount of meat
was condemned as unfit for the food of man. A full
account of this work will be found in the report of the
Chief Sanitary Inspector.
MILK SUPPLY.
The dairies, cowsheds and milkshops have been inspected
regularly throughout the year. Apart from certain of the
designated grades, practically no raw milk is sold in the
district. A considerable proportion is pasteurized under
licence and sold as pasteurized milk, but a certain amount
is also pasteurized, or at all events treated by heat, but
not under licence, and is sold as ordinary milk. I feel very
strongly that the time has now arrived when milk should
only be treated bv heat under licence, and the fact that it
has been so treated should be made perfectly clear to the
consumer.
