Whilst every ease of food contamination must be regarded as
serious, the number of complaints are few in relation to the very
large amount of food which passes through the shops in the town.
Consideration must also be given to the number of transactions
involved and the persons concerned in processing, packing and
handling the food. Food traders and manufacturers are very
sensitive to complaints and the trade in general co-operate fully
in an effort to avoid any cause for repetition.
MERCHANDISE MARKS ACT, 1926.
Regular and frequent inspections were made during the year with
regard to the labelling and display of appropriate notices, in
compliance with the Orders made wider the above Act in respect of
certain foods - mainly imported apples and tomatoes.
Thirteen warning notices were given, but it was not
sidered necessary to take any legal enforcement action.
