Ice-cream Sampling
During the year under review, 30 samples of ice-cream were
obtained and submitted to the Public Health Laboratory for
bacteriological examination. The results were:—
Grade 1 27
„ 2 1
„ 3 2
„ 4 -
30
For the most part these results are eminently satisfactory. The
sample which gave the Grade 2 result was taken from a confectioner's
shop. Of the two samples giving Grade 3 results, one
was taken at a cafe and the other from an itinerant vendor. In
each case the matter was taken up with the firm concerned and the
method of distribution checked. Subsequent samples proved
satisfactory.
