CONDEMNED FOODS
A list of the foodstuffs condemned by the Public Health
Inspectors during the year as unfit for human consumption is given
below.
It is rarely nowadays that an inspector finds unsound food
displayed or intended for sale.
All of the food detailed below was condemned as a result of
requests received from retailers to inspect the food which had
become unfit from such causes as breakdown of refrigerators at
week-ends or delay or damage in transit.
