requires the registration of manufacturers and vendors of ice

registration in respect of 26 premises were considered during
the year. The registrations were granted as follows:—
Purveyors retailing multiple firms' productions27
Purveyors manufacturing and retailing their own productions
(made apart from domestic premises)Nil
Purveyors manufacturing and retailing their own productions

Registration was refused in 7 cases, on account of lack of
suitable accommodation and/or provision of utensils and equipment.
Legal proceedings were taken against an ice cream vendor for
failing to keep the utensils clean and not displaying his name on
the van from which sale was being made. A fine of £5, and £1
costs was imposed.
Ice Cream (Heat Treatment, etc.) Regulations 1947 and 1948.
These Regulations came into operation on 1st May 1947, and
broadly require that, except in the case of a completely cold
mix, the ingredients of ice cream shall be heat treated after
mixing and the mixture then cooled until the freezing process
is begun. After freezing the ice cream must not be sold unless
it has been kept at a temperature of not more than 28° F. In
the case of a cold mix (a product capable of being manufactured
into ice cream with the addition of water only) the requirements
of heat treatment and cooling do not apply, but the product
when reconstituted for manufacture must be converted into ice
cream within one hour of reconstitution and then kept before
sale at the same temperature as for heat treated mix. The
Regulations also lay down that ice cream must be protected from
all forms of contamination and all utensils used in the processes
of manufacture and sale must be thoroughly cleansed after use
and be kept clean at all times.
Owing to the difficulty of obtaining suitable cooling apparatus,
a saving clause in respect thereto is in operation until 1st Mav
1949.

proposed storage premises.
