ICE CREAM
Sampling of Ice Cream:
83 samples of Ice Cream were taken during the year and examined
bacteriologically. As a result of these tests the ice creams were
graded as follows
Grade I 56
Grade II 16
Grade III 6
Grade IV 5
No cases occurred during the yea1 of ice cream in such poor
bacteriological condition as to require the stoppage of sale.
The Grades III and IV samples totalling eleven in all were
obtained from one firm only. This firm was kept under observation
and advice given. Sampling subsequent to mid-October produced only
Grade I and Grade II results suggesting that the difficulty had been
overcome.
