Meat.

Meat. For the dietetic value of meat, and the amount of meat imports, see FOOD. For extract of meat, see EXTRACTS, and see also PRESERVED PROVISIONS. The sale of unsound meat is prohibited under heavy penalties by the Public Health Act of 1875, which regulates the powers of medical officers and inspectors of nuisances to examine game, flesh, milk, &c., and to have such meat or other food, if unfit for human food, destroyed by order of a justice.
