Food Hygiene.
1 have on many occasions expressed the opinion that the
education of food handlers is now the most important aspect of
food hygiene. This is most effectively done at the place of
work of the food handler, in the kitchen, at the butcher's bench,
or the shop counter. For reasons which have already been stated,
the number of visits by the Public Health Inspectors to food
premises fell to the lowest level since 1950 and it was considered
that the limited resources available could be used to
thq best advantage by talking and lecturing to food handlers in
groups rather than as individuals, using coloured film strips
and slides in illustration. This kind of work should, of course,
be complementary to the regular routine inspection of food pre
mises and discussions about food hygiene on the spot.
No certificates of exemption from certain requirements of
the Food Hygiene Regulations, 1955. have been granted.
