Pood Hygiene.
There are 1,464 food premises in the Borough and whilst the standard
of hygiene has been maintained at a reasonably satisfactory level, it is
a subject which calls for constant attention by the Public Health Inspectors.
The need to educate and remind food handlers of the necessity to
exercise scrupulous cleanliness with regard to their hands, clothing, and
equipment remains unremitting. not only do surfaces and equipment coming
into contact with foodstuff require to be visibly clean but becteriologically
satisfactory. The value of chemical sterilising agents in cleansing procedures
is not generally appreciated or practised.
The public are becoming more and more conscious of the need for
cleanliness in the handling of food and this gives encouragement to those
traders whose standards are high.
