Registered Premises

to premises which are registered under the Food and Drugs Act.
These include places where ice cream is manufactured and where meat and
fish are dealt with. In the case of the ice cream manufacturers a reduction
in the number of premises registered is noticeable. Only four premises
remain where heat treatment is carried out - the remaining manufacturers use
the complete cold mix method.
