[CAP. 132
that food, and references to purchasing and purchasers shall be construed accordingly, and, where in connection with any business in the course of which food is supplied the place where food is served to the customers is different from the place where the food is prepared, both those places shall be deemed to be places in which food is sold.

(a) the nature of the food;

(c) any process to which the food is to be subjected before sale to the consumer, being a process to which food of that nature is normally so subjected.
