Sample No. 1 was referred to the local authority in whose area was
situated the supplier. The supplier, it was ascertained, was himself a
dealer. The source of supply was eventually checked with a satisfactory
result.
Sample No. 2 was taken up with the responsible authority and investgated.
On a further check being made in the Borough it was ascertains''
that as the local vendor was greatly concerned with the result of the
examination he had changed his supplier, with a big improvement, as
indicated for Sample No. 5.
Sample No. 6 was obtained from a local maker, who was greatly
concerned at the adverse report. He was advised as to the possible causes
of the unsatisfactory sample. He took further precautions, and it will
noted that the following subsequent samples showed a big improvement.
Sample No. 9—12,000 colonies per millilitre.
Sample No. 14—1,200 colonies per millilitre.
Sample No. 17—9,000 colonies per millilitre.
Sample No. 21—800 colonies per millilitre.
Sample No. 10 was again a local product and the manufacturer and
his premises were visited and necessary advice given. A subsequent safflp^'
No. 11 — 1,400 count — showed a great improvement, but sample No. 18
— 650,000 count — produced another bad result. A visit was made to thr
premises by the Medical Officer of Health and the Senior Sanitary Inspector
and it is pleasing to note that sample No. 19 — 7,000 count — again showed
another improvement.
Samples Nos. 16 and 25 were the product from outside the Borough
and were referred to an adjoining Borough. The reports received indicated
that the factory was very satisfactory.
