The following articles of food in an unsound condition were
surrendered voluntarily and destroyed:—Four cases of fish and
101b. of strawberries.
Premises where ice cream is prepared or sold have been visited.
Thirty-five such premises have been inspected, and it was found
necessary to issue informal notices in 10 instances with regard
to the unsatisfactory conditions under which the ice cream was
either prepared or sold.
There are 15 bakehouses in the District, three of which are
underground bakehouses. In 5 instances defective conditions
called for the issue of informal notices, mainly in connection with
whitewashing, otherwise reasonable care has been taken to ensure
cleanliness and freedom from contamination of the food.
