Pleading guilty to a code inspector’s charge of having non-kosher meat on his premises, Louis Langsaman, a butcher at 174 Amsterdam avenue, was required to remove the “kosher meat” sign from his show-window by the retail kosher meat trade code authority, David S. Andron, general conusel, announced yesterday.
Langsaman was one of 112 kosher butches who were summoned to appear before the complaints committee at 1501 Broadway on various charges, including employing minors, paying employes below the code minimum, sanitary violations, maintaining fire and health hazards and sale of non-kosher meat as kosher.
Twenty-five of the cases were disposed of this week. All except Langsaman received warnings and signed affidavits pledging to abide by code regulations in the future. The rest of the cases are pending.
