The traditional open shop front.
Baphasis was made in last year's Annual Report as to the necessity of
devoting some time to the unsatisfactory conditions prevailing at butchers
shops and fish shops with the traditional open front, particularly in the
Hcocton Street Market area. The appointment of a Food Specialist Inspector
will enable vis to devote sufficient time to this problem in future.
Food hygiene and the customer.
The customer continues to play a most important role in maintaining a
reasonable standard of food hygiene in food premises, and his ever
increasing food consciousness is, without doubt, proving more and more, one
of the most valuable assets of the Public Health Department.
