ICE LOLLIES
BACTERIOLOGICAL EXAMINATION
There is no prescribed standard for water ices or ice lollies sold as
such, but as in former years ice lolly samples have been submitted to a
test similar to the one applied to ice cream.
Thirty-six lollies were examined and found to be satisfactory.
FOOD & DRUGS ACT, 1955
FOOD HYGIENE (GENERAL) REGULATIONS, I960
These regulations which came into operation on the 1st October, 1960,
amend and consolidate the Food Hygiene Regulations 1955 to 1957.
A number of amendments have been embodied in the general provisions
of the Regulations in the light of the experience gained since they first
came into operation. The most important of these amendments are
described below;-
(a) The term "catering business" has been introduced into regulations
25(2) (temperature at which certain foods are to be kept) and 28(1)
(supply of water to stalls), in order to indicate more clearly the type of
business to which these requirements apply.
(b) The definition of "meat" has been extended to include rabbits, game
and poultry.
(c) The scope of the expression "handling of food" is widened so that
the obligation of food handlers will in future extend to persons who wash up
or clean food equipntent
(d) Herbal smoking mixture and snuff are now included with tobacco,
which a person engaged in the handling of food shall refrain from using
whilst he is handling open food or is in any food room in which there is
open food.
