SECTION E
INSPECTION AND SUPERVISION OF FOOD
(a) Milk Supply.
All milk supplies in the town are brought in from
outside sources, there being no milch herds in the Borough.
All known sources of supply are regularly sampled. The
quality generally has proved to be satisfactory.
Under the provisions of the Milk (Special Designations)
(Special Areas) Order, 1951, the Borough of Kingston forms
part of Specified Area No, 1. By the provisions of the
Order, it is an offence to sell in the Borough milk which
is not either Pasteurised, Sterilised or Tuberculin Tested.
The sale of raw undesignated milk is therefore entirely
prohibited within the Borough.
(b) Designated Milks.
The following table shows the number and type of
licences issued by your Corporation during 1953, under the
provisions of the Milk (Special Designations) Regulations.
All the licences were in force at the end of the year.
To Pasteurise
