Section 14
SEC. 14. A food shall be deemed to be adulterated:— (a) (1) 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 food shall not be considered adulterated under this clause if the quantity of such substance in such food does not ordinarily render it injurious to health; (2) if it bears or contains any added poisonous or added deleterious substance other than one which is a pesticide chemical in or on a raw agricultural commodity for which tolerances have been established and it conforms to such tolerances; (3) if it consists in whole or in part of any filthy, putrid, or decomposed substance, or if it is otherwise unfit for food; (4) if it has been prepared, packed, or held under unsanitary conditions whereby it may have become contaminated with filth, or whereby, it may have been rendered injurious to health; (5) if it is, in whole or in part, the product of a diseased animal or of an animal which has died otherwise than by slaughter; (6) if its container is composed, in whole or in part, of any poisonous or deleterious substance which may render the contents injurious to health. (b) (1) If any valuable constituent has been, in whole or in part, omitted or abstracted therefrom and same has not been substituted by any healthful equivalent of such constituent; (2) if any substance injurious to health has been added or substituted; (3) if damage or inferiority has been concealed in any manner; and (4) if any 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. (c) If it bears or contains a coal-tar color other than one which is permissible under existing regulations; (d) If it is confectionery, and it bears or contains any alcohol or non-nutritive article or substance except harmless coloring, harmless flavoring, harmless resinous glass not in excess of four-tenths of one per centum, natural gum and pectin: Provided, That this paragraph shall not apply to any confectionery by reason of its containing less than one-half of one per centum by volume of alcohol derived solely from the use of flavoring extracts, or to any chewing gum by reason of its containing harmless non-nutritive masticatory substances; (e) If it is oleomargarine or margarine or butter and any of the raw material used therein consists in whole or in part of any filthy, putrid or decomposed substance, or such oleomargarine, margarine or butter is otherwise unfit for food.
