Sale of Food (Labelling) Order, 1921.
521 inspections of butchers' shops and stalls were made during
the year in connection with the above, and in over 100 cases
it was found that Imported Meat was exposed for sale by retail
without being labelled "Imported Meat," or bearing a notice
giving the country of origin. In all such cases the meat purveyor
was called upon verbally to comply with the Order, and, if
necessary, a letter of warning was sent in addition.
The Order is now observed generally throughout the
Borough.
Public Health Act, 1925. Section 72.
Considerable attention has been paid to the conditions under
which food is prepared in cafe kitchens, restaurants, eating
houses, coffee stalls. There are 188 such places in the Borough,
and 255 visits have been paid to them during the year. Forty-two
warning letters were sent, when the necessary improvements were
made without recourse to the institution of proceedings.
One person was discovered to have been preparing and bottling
ginger wine in stable premises. A warning letter was sent,
whereupon the premises were immediately vacated.
