Grade 1 and 2 samples can be considered satisfactory; only 20$ of
the samples taken from any one vendor should be of Grade 3 quality, and
none of Grade 4.
MEAT AND OTHER FOODS
There are no slaughterhouses within the Borough, and no slaughtermen's
licences were issued under the provisions of the Slaughter of Animals Act
1958, during the year 1963.
FOOD AND DRUGS ACT 1955
The inspection of food premises has formed an important part of the
work of the Public Health Inspectors during the past year. 1,795 visits
were made to premises in which foodstuffs, intended for human consumption,
were prepared, stored or sold. All food premises must comply with the
Food Hygiene (General) Regulations I960, and a considerable amount of work
has been done under the Regulations during the year. In general, it has
been found that food traders within the Borough are co-operative and I
have reason to believe that the assistance and advice given by the
Department is appreciated.
