§ 6-290.3. Definitions
For the purposes of the Exotic Livestock and Exotic Livestock Products Inspection Act:
a. if it bears or contains any poisonous or deleterious substance which may render it injurious to health; but in case the substance is not an added substance, such article shall not be considered adulterated under this paragraph if the quantity of such substance in or on such article does not ordinarily render it injurious to health,
c. if it is, in whole or in part, a raw agricultural commodity and such commodity bears or contains a pesticide chemical which is unsafe within the meaning of Section 408 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, 1
d. if it bears or contains any food additive which is unsafe within the meaning of Section 409 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, 2
e. if it bears or contains any color additive which is unsafe within the meaning of Section 706 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. 3 Provided, that an article which is not otherwise deemed adulterated under subparagraph b, c, or d, shall nevertheless be deemed adulterated if use of the pesticide chemical, food additive, or color additive in or on such article is prohibited by regulations of the Board in establishments at which inspection is maintained pursuant to the Exotic Livestock and Exotic Livestock Products Inspection Act,
k. if any valuable constituent has been in whole or in part omitted or abstracted therefrom; or if any substance has been substituted, wholly or in part therefor; or if damage or inferiority has been concealed in any manner; or if substance has been added thereto or mixed or packed therewith so as to increase its bulk or weight, or reduce its quality or strength, or make it appear better or of greater value than it is;
8. “Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act”6 means the act so entitled, approved June 25, 1938 (52 Stat. 1040), and acts amendatory thereof or supplementary thereto;
f. if any word, statement, or other information required by or under authority of the Exotic Livestock and Exotic Livestock Products Inspection Act to appear on the label or other labeling is not prominently placed thereon with such conspicuousness, as compared with other words, statements, designs, or devices, in the labeling, and in such terms as to render it likely to be read and understood by the ordinary individual under customary conditions of purchase and use,
h. if it purports to be or is represented as a food for which a standard or standards of fill of container have been prescribed by regulations of the Board, and it falls below the standard of fill of container applicable thereto, unless its label bears, in such manner and form as such regulations specify, a statement that it falls below such standard,
(2) in case it is fabricated from two or more ingredients, the common or usual name of each such ingredient; except that spices, flavorings, and colorings may, when authorized by the Board, be designated as spices, flavorings, and colorings without naming each. Provided, that to the extent that compliance with the requirements of this division is impracticable, or results in deception or unfair competition, exemptions shall be established by regulations promulgated by the Board,
j. if it purports to be or is represented for special dietary uses, unless its label bears such information concerning its vitamin, mineral, and other dietary properties as the Board, after consultation with the Secretary of Agriculture of the United States, determines to be, and by regulations prescribes as, necessary in order fully to inform purchasers as to its value for such uses,
k. if it bears or contains any artificial flavoring, artificial coloring, or chemical preservative, unless it bears labeling stating that fact; provided, that, to the extent that compliance with the requirements of this subparagraph is impracticable, exemptions shall be established by regulations promulgated by the Board, or
l. if it fails to bear on its containers, as the Board may by regulations prescribe, the official inspection legend, such other information as the Board may require in such regulations to assure that it will not have false or misleading labeling and that the public will be informed of the manner of handling required to maintain the article in a wholesome condition;
22. “Product” means any carcass of exotic livestock, or part thereof; or any product which is made wholly or in part from any carcass of exotic livestock or part thereof, excepting products which contain exotic livestock ingredients only in a relatively small proportion or historically have not been considered by consumers as products of the animal food industry, and which are exempted by the Board from definition as an exotic livestock product under such conditions as the Board may prescribe to assure that the exotic livestock ingredients in such products are not adulterated and that such products are not represented as exotic livestock products;
