Inspection and Supervision of Food.
Milk Supply.—No registration of retailers or producers has
had to be refused under the provisions of the Milk and Dairies
(Amendment) Act, 1922 (Milk and Dairies Order, 1926).
Eight additional retailers were registered during the year
under this Act.
Under the Milk (Special Designations) Order, 1923, 7 Dealers'
Licences to sell Certified Milk, 17 to sell Pasteurised Milk, 6 to
sell Grade A (Tuberculin Tested) Milk, 4 to sell Grade A Pasteurised
Milk and 1 to sell Grade A Milk were granted during the year.
One Pasteuriser's Licence in respect of a pasteurising and
bottling establishment was granted.
Five supplementary licences for Certified Milk, 7 for Grade A
(Tuberculin. Tested) Milk, 1 for Grade A Milk, 9 for Pasteurised
Milk and 4 for Grade A Pasteurised Milk were granted during
the year.
It is again important and pleasing to note that no milk, other
than that contained in sealed bottles, is retailed from any general
shop in the district.
As reported on page 22, the standard of milk sold within the
district is satisfactory and has shown a definite improvement within
the last few months.
