Clean Food Byelaws - Section 15. The byelaws for securing
the observance of sanitary and cleanly conditions and practises
In connection with the handling, wrapping and delivery of food
sold or Intended for sale for human consumption and In connection
with the sale or exposure for sale In the open air of food Intended
for human consumption have now been In operation since July 1950.
The few Infringements discovered during the year were mainly of a
minor character.
Clean Food - Dogs in Food Premises. During August 1952
printed notice cards were distributed to all the food establishments
In the Borough, regarding the control and admittance of dogs
in such premises.
There is no doubt as to the success of the campaign as
revealed by the comparatively few complaints now received in
connection with this type of nuisance.
