preparation."

(D) PERSON.

"PERSON" INCLUDES AN INDIVIDUAL,       CORPORATION,

BUSINESS TRUST, ESTATE, TRUST, PARTNERSHIP,   ASSOCIATION,

TWO OR MORE PERSONS HAVING A JOINT OR COMMON  INTEREST, OR
ANY OTHER LEGAL OR COMMERCIAL ENTITY.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This subsection is new language
setting forth a broad, standardized definition
of the word "person" as used in this article.
It is a synthesis of the U.C.C. definitions of
"person" and "organization" contained in
§1-201 (28) and (30) of this article, except
that the reference to "government or
governmental subdivision or agency" is not
included. This definition is in no way

CONTENTS OF ANY PACKAGE OR CONTAINER TO BE KOSHER BY
HAVING OR PERMITTING TO BE INSCRIBED ON IT THE WORD
"KOSHER" IN ANY LANGUAGE;

(3)         SELL OR DISPLAY FOR SALE IN THE SAME PLACE OF
BUSINESS BOTH KOSHER AND NONKOSHER MEAT, UNLESS HE

BUSINESS BOTH KOSHER AND NONKOSHER MEAT, UNLESS HE ALSO

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section presently appears as
Art. 27, §196, except for the penalty
provisions of that section, which are
contained in §14—904.

The phrase "with intent to defraud" has been
limited to item (1) of this section since that
appears to have been the intent of the
