MEAT INSPECTION.
(Public Health (Meat) Regulations, 1924).
(1) The Occupiers of Private Slaughter Houses have arranged
fixed days and times for Slaughtering.
When Slaughtering is performed on any other occasion
a Special Notice is sent to the Public Health
Department.
A Sanitary Inspector is in attendance at the
Slaughter House during the slaughtering operations
when the carcase and organs are examined. The
services of a part time Veterinary Surgeon are available
if required.
The marking of Meat has not been adopted.
There are no special means for the disposal of
condemned diseased meat, but after condemnation,
any carcase and organs are conveyed to the Sewage
Farm and buried in quick lime.
When simply an organ is found to be diseased,
it is suitably destroyed on the slaughterhouse
premises.
When the Refuse Destructor is erected, it will
afford ready means for the destruction of unsound
food.
(2) Stalls, Shops, Stores and Vehicles at which meat is
sold are kept under constant inspection to ensure
that the provisions of the Public Health (Meat) Regulations,
1924, are being observed as far as possible.
