(b) Meat and Other Foods.
As pointed out in previous reports, the major portion of
the meat supply comes through the Central Meat Market of
London, although there is one depot of a wholesale distributing
firm located at the Brentford Market.
Particulars of the animals slaughtered within the Borough,
as well as figures relating to slaughterhouses, bakehouses and
food condemned, will be found in the statistics set out on
page 29. From these statistics it will be seen that slaughtering
on a big scale does not take place within the Borough.
Inspections at the slaughterhouses at times of slaughter is
routine.
(c) and (d) Adulteration, etc.
This work is in the hands of the Middlesex County Council,
and no samples were submitted to the County Analyst by this
Authority.
(e) Nutrition—Dissemination of Knowledge.
No special action was taken in this respect, beyond that
given in lectures to mothers attending the Maternity and Child
Welfare Clinics, and by the Dental Surgeon to school children.
