Prosecutions Of a number OF local ice
cream manufacturers may be ordered by
the District of Columbia health depart
ment as a result of archaeological ex-
aminafions conducted by the department
isms in samples Of ice cream investigated,
it is announced.
Hearings will first be given the manu-
facturers to determine whether prosecu-
tons shall be entered. If it is decided to
resort to legal proceedings. prosecutions
will be brought under the food and
drug act, charging the sale of adulter-
ated products.
Necessity for Step Shown.
While a test case is now pending which
will determine whether milk dealers who
sell milk containing an excessive number
of organisms can be prosecuted by the
health department., no effort has been
made by the department to proceed
against ice cream manufacturers along
the same lines. The recent meteorological
eXamina tiOnS of ice cream, 1t is stated.
show the necessity of steps being taken
to improve generally the quality of this
product which is consumed on a large
scale by the Washington public.
Since September ] the work of the
sanitary inspection division of the de-
partment has resulted in thirty-two ar
rests of merchants, marketmen, bakers
and other dealers in foodstuffs for failure
to comply with the sanitary regulat tons.
