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 throughout
the year.
Under the provisions of the Milk (Special Designations)
(Special Areas) Order 19519 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 1957 under the provisions of
the Milk (Special Designations) Regulations. All the licences
were in force at the end of the year.
