5. Milk — Licensing and Sampling.
Under the provisions of the Food and Drugs Act, 1955, and
Regulations made thereunder, Dairy Farms have become the direct
responsibility of the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries: the
premises on which milk is pasteurised or sterilised are licensed by the
Food and Drugs Authority and in all other cases, Dairies or Dealers
in Designated milk come under the complete control of the Local
Authority in respect of licencing, inspection and control.
There is one dairy farm within the Borough under the control
of the Ministry but the one pasteurising plant licensed by the Council
as the Food and Drugs Authority closed during the year under
review.
Details of sampling are included in Table 30.
