Visits were made to the food premises as
frequently as possible so as to enforce the Food Hygiene
Regulations and the byelaws relating to the handling of
food, and generally to encourage higher standards of food
hygiene. Posters and leaflets on various aspects of
this important subject were made available to food handlers
and to the general public and displays were exhibited on
five occasions during the year in the Kiosk at the Town Hall.
Copies of codes of practice for hygiene in the retail meat
trade, published in the latter part of the year by the
Ministries of Health and Food, were issued to all the
local butchers.
