Food Hygiene Regulations The great majority of shopkeepers are as anxious as we are to improve their methods of storage and presentation of food so that it reaches the customer in as clean a condition as is possible. The efforts of suburban shopkeepers in this direc- tion are being nullified by the increasing habit among house- wives of bringing their dogs with them when they go shopping. It is an offence for the shopkeeper to allow dogs on his premises. Many have notices to this effect prominently dis- played but some ladies continue to pay no heed—in fact, in many cases, shops’ personnel have been openly defied. It is from these same ladies that we get indignant letters of complaint when they see others offending against these regulations or other sanitary laws. John B. O'Regan, Chief Medical Officer.
