INSPECTION AND SUPERVISION OF FOOD AND
FOOD PREMISES.
Increasing publicity is being given to the unsatisfactory
conditions existing at many premises used for the sale of food.
The particular problem in relation to the sale of ice cream and
the registration of ice cream premises, the many difficulties encountered
in enforcing the requirements of Section 13 of the Food and
Drugs Act, 1938, and the measures proposed to secure more effectual
supervision of all food premises in the Borough, are dealt with in
the introductory pages of this Report.
Inspections of food premises during 1949 totalled 6,424.
