The inspection of food supplies delivered to schools was continued during the year.
These inspections are carried out while meat is in course of delivery to kitchens,
usually at about 7.30 a.m. so far it has not been necessary to report to the Supplies
Department of the Essex County Council regarding any infringement of the Pood and Drugs
Act in respect of the nature, substance or quality of the food supplied, or any contravention
of the requirements of the Pood Hygiene Regulations governing transport of
meat and other food.
A number of samples of water and of milk were obtained from schools for chemical
and bacteriological examination. The reports of the public analyst and bacteriologist
were satisfactory in every case. "
