  1. Agriculture & Markets Law
  2. Article 17. Adulteration, Packing, and Branding of Food and Food Products

§ 201-b. Retail sale of kosher food or food products. 1. Any person

who sells or offers for sale in the same place of business meat, meat

preparations, meat by-products, poultry or other food or food products

that are represented as both kosher and non-kosher shall indicate in

window signs, in block letters at least four inches in height, "kosher

and non-kosher meat sold here" or "kosher and non-kosher food sold

here."

2. All fresh meat, meat preparations, meat by-products and poultry

sold or offered for sale at retail as kosher shall be marked on the

label when packaged, or by a sign when not packaged, with the words

"soaked and salted" or "not soaked and salted," as the case may be. Such

words, when marked on a label or a sign, shall be in letters at least as

large as the letters of the words on the label or sign designating such

meat, meat preparations, meat by-products and poultry as kosher.

3. Any person who sells or offers for sale as kosher, at wholesale or

retail, any meat, meat preparations, meat by-products or poultry shall

maintain a record of each purchase from a manufacturer or packer, which

shall include, but not be limited to, a bill of sale, and retain all

records with respect to the origin of such meat, meat preparations, meat

by-products or poultry for a period of two years after the sale to which

the records relate, and shall make such records available to the

department upon request. Meat, meat preparations, meat by-products and

poultry packed off-premises and labeled as kosher by the packer thereof

shall be exempt from the record keeping requirements of this

subdivision, provided that the package contains the name and address of

the manufacturer or packer and the name of the person certifying such

food or food products as kosher.
