Manufacture, storage and sale of Ice Cream
Eighty-seven registrations of premises were in force at the
beginning of the year, and a further seven were added during the
year.
Sixty-eight visits to premises were made during the year in
addition to forty-seven visits for the purpose of obtaining ice-cream
samples.
Ice Cream Samples (Bacteriological Examinations)
Fifty-one samples of ice cream and ice lollies were obtained and
the results are as follows:
Ice Cream:
Ministry of Health's Provisional Grading
Taken Grade 1 Grade II Grade III Grade IV

Of the nine unsatisfactory samples of ice cream, five (one Grade
III and four Grade II) were taken from a cafe which, following
representations by the Public Health Department, changed their
sales from loose to wrapped ice cream. Follow up samples were
taken from two other premises where a Grade III report had been
received and all proved satisfactory.
Foods and Drugs and Bacteriological Examinations
As in former years, the Food and Drugs samples were submitted
to Messrs. Bernard Dyer and Partners Ltd., (George Taylor, Esq.,
F.R.I.C., Dr. J. H. Hamence, F.R.I.C., and P. S. Hall, Esq.,
A.R.I.C.) of 20 Eastcheap, London, E.C.3 and samples for bacteriological
examination to the Counties Public Health Laboratories
(Roy C. Hoather, Esq., B.Sc., Ph.D., F.R.I.C., F.R.San.I.; W. A.
Bullough, Esq., C.B.E., M.Sc., M.B., Ch.B., D.P.H., and Gordon
