POOD HYGIENE:
Clean Food Publicity:
The Council had under consideration during the year
various proposals for raising the standard of hygiene amongst
food handlers and, amongst other matters, considered in
particular the inauguration of Pood Guilds, Exhibitions and
Educational Courses for food workers.
By arrangement with the Central Office of Information, a
film display was held at the Central Libary on Friday, 10th
November. Six separate sessions were held on this date and
at three of these, films of public health interest were exhibited,
viz:—
"Another Case of Poisoning"
"Souring of Milk"
" Town Rats "
A list of food traders in the Borough, of which there are
approximately 1,200, was compiled and classified in this
Department under their various trades and forwarded to the
Central Office of Information, who issued an invitation to each
trader.
The 2 p.m. session was poorly attended, only 7 being
present, but at the session at 3.30 p.m., 75 were present and
at the evening session at 7 p.m., at which the Chairman of the
Public Health Committee presided, 50 attended.
Clean Food Bye-Laws:
The Model Bye-Laws prepared by the Ministry of Food
for securing the observance of sanitary and cleanly conditions
and practices in connection with the handling, wrapping and
delivery of food and sale of food in the open air were received.
The Council in considering their adoption suggested certain
additions and amendments.
