Food Sampling
The Public Analyst for Haringey is Mr. W.B. Chapman, B.Sc., F.R.I.C., of the Scientific Division of
the Greater London Council and all analyses are carried out at the Greater London Council Laboratories.
Similar arrangements exist between the Greater London Council and three other London Boroughs and the
four authorities and the Scientific Branch of the Greater London Countil have agreed to carry out a
co-ordinated programme whereby duplication of sampling is avoided and each authority is acquainted with
the results of the sampling examinations carried out on behalf of all four Boroughs.
Informal samples of a wide variety of food and drugs have been submitted to the Public Analyst who
reported on each sample in relation to the standards laid down in Orders and Regulations for the commodities
including requirements as to labelling and advertisement. Chemical and biological examinations have
also been carried out for the presence of penicillin and insecticidal residues.
