BACTERIOLOGICAL FOOD CONTROL
This form of sampling is designed to prevent the sale of food which is
diseased, unsound, unwholesome or unfit for human consumption. In particular
it establishes whether or not food is free from infective organisms which could
cause disease. It also checks for the excessive growth of organisms (not
necessarily pathogens) which could indicate contamination of the food before
sale, or excessive age.
The following samples and specimens were submitted for bacteriological
examination to the Public Health Laboratory Service, County Hall and Whipps
Cross, whose co-operation throughout the year was greatly appreciated: -
Ice Cream 28
Milk 23
Manufactured foods 80
Imported foods 305
Drinking Water 6

SWIMMING BATHS

the 12 taken for chemical and bacteriological examination during the year.
