Unsound Food.
On account of the large number of prosecutions at the end of 1901, the condition
of the food exposed or deposited for sale in the Borough greatly improved.
Notices were served on the various Wharfingers, Importers, Brokers, etc., calling
their attention to the fact that unsound food, whether exposed for sale or not, was
liable to be seized. This I have no doubt caused the surrender to us of a large
quantity of canned goods, which in former years found its way on the market.
The following were destroyed under our supervision:—
1 barrel Apples.
94 tins canned Apples.
3,371 tins and 5 cases Apricots.
5,603 tins Apricot Pulp.
49 drums Anchovies.
47 tins and 9 cases Asparagus.
1 tin Black Currants.

1½ cwt. diseased Beef.
4,167 tins Canned Beef.

69 lbs. Cheese.
39 seives and 1 tin Cherries.
5 bags Cocoanuts.
3 boxes Cucumbers.
1 hogshead Pickled Cucumbers.

43 cases and 836 tins Liquid Eggs
