Inspections were made during the year and the following
carcasses and organs were examined:—
Beasts and Calves 91
Sheep 14
Pigs 718
INSPECTION OF OTHER FOODS.
Special attention has been given to premises in which
articles used for the food of man are prepared, stored, or
sold, in order to see that they complied with the various Acts
and Orders relating to such premises. It has generally been
found that traders are willing to comply with the provisions
of the legal enactments when their attention is drawn to some
breach or other without recourse to statutory proceedings.
During 1936, 1,255 inspections were made of Butchers,
Markets, Bakehouses and other food premises.
