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.
The results shewn above are the best we have ever had
and seem to oe very satisfactory. The two grade IV and
one of the Grade III results were from the same source of
supply which was eventually cleared up.
Very little ice cream is now made in this district and
of the 162 samples only three (iced lollies) were of local
manufacture.
Bach retailer from whom a sample was taken was suppliedwith
a copy of the laboratory report, and a Sanitary Inspector
visited the premises and gave advice where reports were not up
to the standard expected.
