Deception, Meat sold as "kosher" (Tromperies, Viande vendue comme étant "cacher") – Anyone who knowingly sells or offers for sale meat which does not possess this substantial quality, presenting it as "kosher", commits the offence of deception as to the qualities of the goods sold - the Jewish religion forbids its followers to consume the blood of the animals on which they feed, that very strict rules govern the method of slaughter and preparation of the meat, that the sacrificers and butchers are placed under the control of the rabbinical authorities and that only meat from animals slaughtered in such conditions is subject to rigorous control by a qualified religious body, that the sacrificers and butchers are placed under the control of the rabbinical authorities and that only meat from animals slaughtered in such conditions and subject to rigorous control by a qualified religious body may be sold under the name of kosher meat states, on the one hand, that this character constitutes for the practitioner of the Jewish religion a substantial quality without which he would not have contracted and specified.
