During the year 1,820 tons of foodstuffs were seized and
condemned for human consumption and were either reconditioned or
disposed of for animal consumption or for industrial purposes under
guarantee, or destroyed.
The same policy, namely, the salvage of damaged foodstuffs
and their reconditioning where possible to render them fit, either
for human consumption or for animal consumption or for industrial
purposes, has continued throughout the year and details of the uses
to which the foodstuffs have been put are given on page 7.
Your Medical Officer wishes to take this opportunity of
thanking the Officers of the Ministry of Pood, the Port of London
Authority and private firms for their valuable collaboration in the
building up of what is no?/ a highly efficient service of food salvage
resulting in the saving to the nation of large quantities of valuable
foodstuffs.
He also wishes to thank the Officers of His Majesty's Customs,
Port of London Authority, the Pilots and the Members of the staffs of
the Shipping Companies and Merchants for their collaboration and help
in every aspect of the work of the Port of London Health Authority
throughout the year.
I have the honour to be,
Gentlemen,
Your obedient servant,
M.T. MORGAN
