All samples were taken by hand to the Counties Public Health
Laboratories, 66 Victoria Street, London, S.W.l. within three hours
of being obtained.
The Garde IV sample resulted in legal action and this is
reported previously under "Food Complaints".
The Grade III sample would also have had legal action taken
but for difficulty in establishing the correct particulars of the
person or persons responsible for the sale of the Ice Cream.
In other cases where the samples were below the "satisfactory"
grading, the matter has been taken up with the manufacturers and the
local authorities in whose districts the Ice Cream was made.
The results of samples of Ice Cream manufactured in the district
are very good indeed.
