Condemned Food
Disposal of condemned food offers no problem in Tottenham. The refuse
disposal works and waste food plant provide the ideal method. Wherever
possible the Cleansing Superintendent utilises condemned foodstuffs in the
processed food plant and the remainder is dealt with by incineration. The
department can thus satisfy itself that no unsound or condemned food will find
its way into unauthorised hands. The bulk of the food condemned comes from
two large wholesale organisations
Special Stock
Occasions arise when special examinations have to be made of stocks or
consignments at a local warehouse During the year the department was called
in to examine stocks of concentrated orange juice and altogether 5,587 gallons
were condemned and disposed of at the sewage pumping station. This quantity
represented less than 2% of the total amount passing through the warehouse.
