Manufacture, Storage and Sale of Ice Cream
Four applications for premises to be registered for the storage and
sale of ice cream were received and considered by the Public Health
Committee. All were granted.
Ice Cream (Bacteriological Examination)
31 samples of ice cream were obtained and the results were as follows:
Ministry of Health's Provisional Grading
Taken Grade 1 Grade II Grade III Grade IV
Nos 31 28 2 — 1
Per cent 100 90.3 6.5 — 3.2
The unsatisfactory sample appeared to be due to the condition of the
scoup. A subsequent sample was satisfactory.
Food and Drugs and Bacteriological Examinations
As in former years, the Food and Drugs samples were submitted
to Messrs. Bernard Dyer and Partners Ltd., (Dr. J. H. Hamence,
F.R.I.C., and P. S. Hall, Esq., F.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.S.H., W. A. Bullough, Esq., C.B.E., M.Sc., M.B.,
Ch,B., D.P.H., Gordon Miles, Esq., B.Sc., F.R.I.C., F.R.S.H., R.
