If a person consigns, sells, offers, or exposes or keeps for sale for human consumption, or uses or suffers to be used in the manufacture of products for human consumption, the milk of any cow–

(a)

which is suffering from any sore on the teats accompanied by suppuration or bleeding; or

(b)

which is suffering from any disease liable to infect or contaminate the milk,

he shall be guilty of an offence unless he proves that he did not know and had no reason to suspect that the milk was the milk of such a cow.
