FOOD.
Street Markets and Food
Early in the year under consideration, the Sanitary Inspectors' week-end
duties in relation to the Street Markets were re-arranged. Instead of requiring
two Inspectors to be on duty on Saturday night and Sunday morning,
the Commitee recommended that one Inspector only should be on duty at
these times. The recommendation was made for the reason that the markets
now close considerably earlier than they did before the War. This re-arrangement
made possible a revision of the off-duty time to be allowed in respect of
market duty, which resulted in a substantial increase in the time available for
routine work.
The number of inspections of premises at which food is prepared or sold,
made by each Inspector during the year, is shown in the Table on page 52.
The following were surrendered or seized and destroyed as unfit for the
food of man : 2J lbs. of Veal; 2 cwt. of Apples, Bananas and Oranges ; 28 lbs.
of Herrings; box of Skate Wings; 3 cwt. of Apples; 23 cases of Apples; 78
boxes of Peaches; 5 barrels of pears; one box of Melons and one box of
Peaches.
Meat.
The number of butchers' shops under inspection during the year was 62
and the number of visits of inspection was 104.
General observation was kept of all meat stalls where butchers' meat was
exposed for sale. One warning letter was sent in respect of minor infringements
of the Public Health (Meat) Regulations, 1924.
Slaughter Houses.
The application for the necessary licence of the last remaining Slaughter
House in this Borough was not renewed when the annual licences were considered
by the London County Conncil in October, 1932.
The Public Health (Prevention of Tuberculosis) Regulations, 1925.
These Regulations prohibit a person suffering from Tuberculosis, who
is in an infectious condition, from following any employment or occupation
in connection with a dairy which would involve the milking of cows, the
treatment of milk, or the handling of vessels used for containing milk.
It was not necessary for these reasons to prohibit any person from following
his occupation in a dairy during the year under consideration.
