(a) INSPECTION AND SUPERVISION OF FOOD.
Milk Supply.
There are no Cowsheds in use in the Borough, therefore, all
milk is imported into the district. The greater bulk of this supply
is distributed by three or four large firms, who have adopted
the latest hygienic methods of storing and cleansing. They have
also their own Inspectorate, who take frequent samples from their
Milk Carriers to ensure the milk being delivered as it comes from
the cow.
An increasing number of consumers is being supplied with
their milk—much of it sterilized or pasteurized—in capsuled
bottles, thus avoiding any contamination in transit or in the house.
Dairies.
There are 116 registered premises for the sale of milk in the
Borough. This number includes a few shops other than dairies
where milk is sold. These premises have been periodically
inspected and are maintained in good condition.
