PART II
FOOD CONTROL
As will be seen from the list of inspections carried out, premises
concerned with the manufacture and/or sale of food continue to receive the
closest supervision. During the year particular attention has been given to
school canteens and kitchens, and recommendations were made to the Education
Authority. In collaboration with the Hospital Authorities special visits
were made to the kitchens of Tottenham s two large hospitals. Extensive
reports were submitted containing recommendations for some reorganisation.
Interest in food hygiene is being sustained by talks to various organisations
and by regular and systematic visits to food premises.
