SECTION III.—INSPECTION AND SUPERVISION OF
FOOD.
1. Milk Supply.—There are 72 dairies and milkshops and 6
cowsheds on the register. 444 inspections of dairies, milkshops
and cowsheds were carried out during the year.
Of the 72 premises from which milk is retailed in Ilford, 15
are branches of one firm, 2 another and 2 another, while another
is a branch of a large firm of retailers, 8 retail from dairy shops or
stores, 9 from general shops and 6 from restaurants. Five are
retailers in a small way with rounds and also provision for storage
of milk, while 24 sell sterilised bottled milk only.
In four premises, pasteurising plant has been installed. Only
one of these has, however, been licensed; the Silkeborg type of
machine is in use in this case.
There are six wholesale dealers in milk, all having cows on
the premises. Of these dealers, four are also retailers.
2. Licences were granted under the Milk (Special Designations)
Order, 1923, during 1928, for the sale of:—
"Certified" Milk 15
"Grade A" Milk 5

The above include supplementary licences which were issued

These are licences granted to firms who already have a licence from
another Authority, the milk being bottled outside the town, but
sold in Ilford.
