Notices Served.
(i) Food and Drugs Act, 1938 (Sec. 13).
This section sets out certain minimum requirements as to
hygiene, cleanliness, structural conditions, hot and cold water and
washing facilities, and affects rooms in which food intended for
human consumption is prepared for sale or sold or offered or exposed
for sale, or deposited for the purpose of sale or in preparation for
6ale. Notices in relation to contraventions of this section were
served in respect of 33 food premises, and all notices were complied
with. In addition to these written notices, numerous verbal
intimations were given by Sanitary Inspectors to occupiers of food
establishments—more in the nature of advice than of official
direction—with the object of securing co-operation in maintaining
a high standard of food hygiene.
(ii) Shops Act, 1950, Sec. 38.
Eight notices were served under this section on occupiers or
owners of shop premises regarding insufficient sanitary arrangements
available for use of persons employed in or about the shop. These
notices were satisfactorily complied with.
