Complaints of Foreign Bodies and Substances in Food. The following are examples of complaints brought to our notice. 1. Sliced Wrapped Bread containing flying insect. 2. Mouldy Pork Pie. 3. Mouldy Cornish Pasties. 4. Meat Pie containing insect. 5. Bread Roll containing fly. All these cases were fully investigated and after reporting to Committee, warnings were given to the firms concerned. No Legal proceedings were taken. Food Premises. We compel the shopkeeper to instal and maintain certain fit- ments in their premises yet we have little control over the mobile shop. The better types of vehicles operate from reputable premises but there are many converted vehicles which are totally unsuited. A steady improvement of food shops continues and there is an increase in the number of refrigerated cabinets for the display of perishable commodities.](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b28799082_0034.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
