Under the Milk (Special Designation.) (Pasteurised and Sterilised
Milk) Regulations, two designations are sanctioned, "Pasteurised" and
"Sterilised". Licences authorising the use of both designations are
granted by the Food and Drugs authority in which the premises for
pasteurising and sterilising are situated, and the local authority
authorises the sale of the milk within that area„ If milk is sold in
another area, the local authority of that area grants a Supplementary
Licence. Fees for Licences have been dispensed with.
The Milk and Dairies Regulations 1949 supersede the Milk and
Dairies Order, 1926, registration for milk distributors and of premises
used as dairies remaining with local authorities. The Regulations lay
down requirements regarding sanitation, ventilation, and the precautions
to be observed to ensure cleanliness and prevent contamination® The
cleansing and storage of vessels, utensils and appliances are also dealt
with. All premises required to be registered under the Regulations were
inspected and re-registered, and all other distributors of milk in the
Borough were likewise communicated with and re-registration effected.
The number of registered premises was 85.
Details of licences issued during the year under the various
regulations are given in the following tables:
