GENERAL: In respeot of Cream, 7 samples were taken. In the absence of a statutory bacteriological standard for Cream, the standard achieved by the 7 samples can only be described as poor. Advice has been given on the subject of storage, display and care of utensils. No organisms of Brucella Abortus were found. Ice Cream Samples showed better bacteriological standards. All of the eight samples were satisfactory. Three oases of mouldy packaged foods and two cases of foods having an unattractive appearance were investigated; in most oases, the failure was in respeot of the stock rotation methods employed. Approximately 1317 lbs of canned or frozen foods were voluntarily surrendered by food traders for destruction. 8. MEAT INSPECTION AND SLAUGHTER HOUSE SUPERVISION: The total number of animals killed has shown a decrease on last year, particularly in respeot of Sheep and Lamb. Liskeard is a convenient centre for the slaughter of Reactor animals which are sent in by the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries & Food. Meat inspection procedures in respect of Reactors are, of course, more time consuming than routine inspections.
