FOOD COMPLAINTS
The following table reveals the trend since 1968:-
| Year | Number of Complaints |
|---|---|
| 1968 | 93 |
| 1969 | 123 |
| 1970 | 145 |
| 1971 | 206 |
| 1972 | 241 |
| 1973 | 262 |
While this trend is expected to continue it should not be taken as an
indication that the quality of food stuff is falling, but rather to the increasing
publicity given to food and food hygiene and to increasing
interest taken in these matters by the public.
