![cTeaiu wliicli exudes from sides and top of sueh produets, tliereby ])reseuting a eomparatively large surfaee area reeeptive to eon- taminatioii. and this I feel is yet another faetor eontributing to the tendeney to unsatisfaetory ba(*teriologieal eonditions at the pur- chaser stage. Attention has been drawn o\ er the past few years to imported frozen whole egg and eoeonut as being sus})eet foods as far as bakeries are eoneerne( 1. It is therefore imperative that there shoidd be a general awareness in the eonfeetionery bakery trade of the risks im olved. Whilst these two })roduets can be used in baking proeesses which will render them harmless, cross infection of utensils used for non-baked foods, and partieidarly imitation eream must be guarded against at all times. The use of some form of sterilisation proeess following cleaning of sueh utensils is essential. IMITATION CREAM PROCESSING PLANT ddie photograph shows on the right the fat melting tank ad- joining the })astenrising tank. Both vessels are steam jacketed. From the homogeniser shown to the left of the pasteuriser the imita- tion eream is fed to the head of the eooler which has water cooled and refrigerated sections ea))able of cooling the pasteurised and homogenised product to a tenp^erature of 4()°F. Tlie cooled imita- tion eream is run olf to the aluminium churns which are transferred to cold store. The whole of the ecpiipment is eonstrueted in stainless steel and is capable of handling 100 gallons per hour. Steam })oints are eonveniently situated in the })roeessing room and a churn steam sterilising point is also installed. The construction of the internal surfaees of the room are as tollows: The eeiling is eonstrueted of matt finish laminated plastie sheets fixed by means of patent plastie fixing strips. Walls are tiled to eeiling level with a matt finish white glazed tile. The floor is eonstrueted of red Ruabon tiles and the eoved junetions to walls is aehieved by using a matching eoved skirting tile.](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b29171271_0092.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
