Ice Cream.
Certificates of registration for the sale of ice
cream were granted in respect of three premises during the
year. This brings the total of premises in the District
registered for the manufacture, storage or sale of ice cream
to fifty-nine. Most of the traders sell only pre-packed
ice cream as supplied by the manufacturers.
Fifty-eight samples were taken for bacteriological
examination. They were placed into one of four grades
following a test as to their bacterial cleanliness. Grades
1 and 2 are an indication of a satisfactory standard, and
grades 3 or 4 unsatisfactory. The 5& samples taken were
placed in the following grades:
Grade 1. Grade 2. Grade 3. Grade 4.

In the case of one of the unsatisfactory samples the
trader sold the ice cream loose and advice was given on the
efficient sterilisation of the serving utensils. In the
other instance the ice cream was sold pre-packed as supplied
by the manufacturers. In both instances subsequent check
samples wore satisfactory.
