Heat Treatment (Prescribed Tests) Order, 1944.
Four samples of Pasteurised Milk were submitted for examination
under the provisions of the above Order. All the samples were found to have
been efficiently pasteurised and to satisfy the prescribed standards.
Ice Cream.
Three samples of ice cream, taken from two manufacturers, were
submitted for bacteriological and chemical examination. Bacillus coli was
found to be present in l/100th c.c. in all three samples. There, is however,
no prescribed standard of cleanliness or quality for ice cream. The results
were regarded as fairly satisfactory but the vendors were requested to improve
their standards of cleanliness, and in one case further sterilizing apparatus
was installed.
