equipment which is set apart entirely for this purpose and not used for
other bakehouse products. All this equipment should be thoroughly
washed after each use and should, after washing, be sterilised by
boiling in water for at least five minutes.,
(4) Savoy Bags-special care is required in regard to the use of
savoy bags They should be thoroughly washed in soap and water and
boiled for at least five minutes after each use.
This matter is of the very greatest importance to the health of the
community. In recent outbreaks of Paratyphoid Fever in London there is
much evidence to suggest that the infection was conveyed by egg products of
the type referred to above and which were used in uncooked bakery products
or in those which had not been subjected to high oven temperatures,
Should you require any further information or advice on this matter,
please do not hesitate to get in touch with this department."
