(f) Food Hygiene.
One can only repeat what has been said before, namely that
the work of providing and maintaining a clean food supply is one
of continuous endeavour. The problem before us remains the same,
but only gradually can improvement be made. The stage has now
been reached when the most important factor in food distribution
and handling is the attitude of mind of the individual person.
All who are employed in the food industry must realise the need
for personal and general hygiene and be aware of the consequences
of their actions.
There is in the Borough a very good relationship between
traders and the Public Health Department and this willing cooperation
is much appreciated.
During the year much work was done on maintenance and
improvement of food premises, both with regard to structural
repairs, the cleansing and painting of food rooms and shops
and provision of modern equipment.
The Sanitary Inspectors spent much time on education in
food hygiene by visits to food premises and by advice and discussion
with the management and employees - an essential duty
in view of the constant and frequent changes which take place
in the staffs.
