With reference to the one defective sample, I have to state that a
sample of sausage meat was found to contain preservative—sulphurdioxide
— to the extent of 280 parts per million. This amount is well
below the amount allowed, unfortunately no indication of the presence of
preservative was given in the vendor's shop.
Milk Samples
During the year, twelve samples of milk were obtained and submitted
to the Counties Public Health Laboratories for testing by the Methylene
Blue and Phosphatose tests, as prescribed by the Ministry of Health.
All pasteurised milk sold in the Borough is processed in the area of
other Local Authorities.
Of the twelve samples taken, nine satisfied the Methylene Blue test,
and the remaining three were reported to adjoining Authorities with a
request for investigation. It is pleasing to report that subsequent samples
showed a satisfactory result.
All the samples satisfied the Phosphatase Test.
