XII.—INSPECTION AND SUPERVISION OF FOODSTUFFS.
There is a noticeable increase in the visits to food
shops and stores during the year; this forms one of tie
most important duties in the work of the sanitary
inspectors.
There were instances of unsound meat brought in
from outside the district being found in shops. Complete
co-operation exists between the butchers and the Department,
so that there is very little chance of imsound meat
or food reaching the public.
New refrigerating plants have been installed by
butchers—these plants are automatically controlled.
This is a great advance upon the ice bos method, which
was devoid of temperature control, which is so essential
in preservation of food.
