Part I provides for administration and implementation of provisions of this Act. The Minister of Health shall be responsible for the administration of this Act and may make Regulations for the effective carrying out of the provisions of this Act. The Minister shall appoint a National Public Health Advisory Committee to advise him upon matters affecting public health. Part II defines summary offences including improper keeping of animals, birds or fish, wrong construction of wells or water storage, pollution of pools, lagoons, ditches or watercourses, and obstruction of watercourses. Part III is entirely dedicated to hygienic handling of food. All food premises in hotels, motels, guest houses, tourist resorts, restaurants and markets, food processing establishments, super-markets, stores, hawkers and all milk suppliers shall be registered with the Ministry (sect. 34). Section 36 prohibits the sale of adulterated food, whereas section 37 prohibits false labelling of food. The importation of any article which does not comply with the provisions of this Act is prohibited (sect. 40). If in the opinion of the Minister, a food would or may be dangerous or injurious to health, the Minister may declare by Notice that food to be dangerous or injurious and the Minister may prohibit by Order the cultivation, taking, harvesting, or otherwise obtaining any food from any area if, in the opinion of the Minister, that food may be dangerous or injurious to persons who consume that food.
