Hydatids
Sir, —You report Mr W. D. Cross, president of the Canterbury Meat Retailers’ Association, saying that all meat is examined by inspectors of the Department of Agriculture for hydatid cysts before being sent to the butcher. This may apply to Christchurch city, but what of the small-town butcher with his own private slaughter-house, where he can kill anything and have no inspection of his meat or offal? Surely this is a matter long overdue for attention in the campaign against hydatid^.—Yours, etc., ACTION WANTED. April 19, 1957. [This letter was referred to the livestock superintendent of the Department of Agriculture (Mr H. Doyle), who said: “At meat export slaughterhouses and abattoirs inspection of meat for human consumption is caTried out by fulltime meat inspectors of the Department of Agriculture. At rural slaughterhouses full-time meat inspection is not carried out by the department, but inspection visits are periodically made by departmental officers.”]
