Whenever possible condemned food is salvaged to be used for
animal feeding, but in all other cases, the food is destroyed by burning
at the Refuse destructor.
Thirty-one complaints, alleging that food had been sold in a
condition unfit for human consumption, were received during the year
and received full investigation, and in seventeen cases reports were
made to the Health Committee. Letters were sent to vendors in three
instances and no legal proceedings were taken.
