ICE CREAM.
Premises have been registered by the Corporation under
Section 14, Pood & Drugs Act, 1938, as under:-
For manufacture, storage and sale 19
For manufacture, storage and sale
but manufacture to be limited to
ice-lollies 11
For storage and sale, but not
manufacture 86
During the year 235 visits were made to premises and
vehicles and 121 samples of ice cream were taken for laboratory
examination for bacterial cleanliness, details being appended.
It should be borne in mind that this method of examining
ice-cream is still in the trial stage, and the Public Health
Laboratory Service advises that it is unwise to pay too much
attention to the result of any one sample. Judgment should
be based rather on a series of samples. It is suggested that
it would be reasonable to expect about 50 per cent of samples
throughout the year to fall into Grade I, 80 per cent into
Grades 1 or 2, not more than 20 per cent into Grade 3, and none
into Grade 4.
Owing to the large number of manufacturers whose ice-cream
was sold in the Borough during the year it was not possible to tap
a series of samples from each, but as the table shews, efforts
were made to repeat unsatisfactory samples till improvement
was effected or the supoly discontinued.
All retailers and manufacturers have been allotted a code
number so that results can be published each year and compared
with previous years.
