A Score Card for City Ice Cream Plants¹

ABSTRACT

The output of the ice cream industry has greatly increased in the last decade and likewise its commercial value. We now recognize it as one of the many American industries. But while the output and value have greatly increased, the sanitary measures have not kept pace with the industry. In some places possibly they have kept pace and in others they have not. One thing is certain that on the whole the ice cream industry has not received as much attention from a sanitary point of view as some of its sister industries. For example, in most cities, we do not find any bacteriological standard for ice cream or the constituents that go into its make up. We do not have a score card for city ice cream plants as we do for city milk plants. Cities in which there is a system of country and city milk inspection, we find no provision for inspection of ice cream plants or the farms supplying the cream and milk for ice cream.

¹ Through an error, part of the score card was omitted from the article which was published in the November issue. In justice to the author, the entire article is reprinted in this issue.—EDITOR.
