the premises any article of food or food preparation falsely represented as
kosher or as having been prepared in accordance with the orthodox or
traditional Hebrew religious requirements, either by direct statements, orally

representation is being made that the food sold is kosher or prepared in
accordance with the traditional or orthodox Hebrew religious requirements, or
who shall sell or expose for sale in a restaurant or other place both kosher
and non-kosher food or food preparation, or who shall prepare, handle, combine,
or serve kosher foods in a manner not sanctioned by the traditional or orthodox
