Section 15-19-7-29 - Adulteration of commercial feedA commercial feed is considered adulterated if it meets any of the following conditions:
(1) It bears or contains a poisonous or deleterious substance that may render it injurious to health. However, if the substance is not an added substance, the commercial feed is not considered to be adulterated under this subdivision if the quantity of the substance in the commercial feed does not ordinarily render it injurious to health.(2) It contains an added poisonous, added deleterious, or added nonnutritive substance that is unsafe within the meaning of Section 406 of the federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 346) other than one that is: (A) a pesticide chemical in or on a raw agricultural commodity; or(3) It is, or it contains, a food additive that is unsafe within the meaning of Section 409 of the federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 348).(4) It is a raw agricultural commodity and it contains a pesticide chemical that is unsafe within the meaning of Section 408(a) of the federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 346a(a)). However, if a pesticide chemical has been used in or on a raw agricultural commodity in conformity with an exemption granted or a tolerance prescribed under Section 408 of the federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 346a) and the raw agricultural commodity has been subjected to processing, such as canning, cooking, freezing, dehydrating, or milling, the residue of the pesticide chemical remaining in or on the processed feed is not considered unsafe if:(A) the residue in or on the raw agricultural commodity has been removed to the extent possible in good manufacturing practice;(B) the concentration of the residue in the processed feed is not greater than the tolerance prescribed for the raw agricultural commodity; and(C) the feeding of the processed feed will not result, or is not likely to result, in a pesticide residue in the edible product of the animal that is unsafe within the meaning of Section 408(a) of the federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 346a(a)).(5) It is, or it contains, a color additive that is unsafe within the meaning of Section 721 of the federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 379e).(6) It is, or it contains, an animal drug that is unsafe within the meaning of Section 512 of the federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 360b).(7) If any valuable constituent has been in whole or in part omitted or abstracted from the commercial feed or any less valuable substance has been substituted for a valuable constituent.(8) Its composition or quality falls below or differs from that which it is purported or is represented to possess by its labeling.(9) It contains a drug and the methods used in or the facilities or controls used for its manufacture, processing, or packaging do not conform to current good manufacturing practice rules adopted by the state chemist to ensure that the drug: (A) meets the requirement of this chapter as to safety; and(B) has the identity and strength, and meets the quality and purity characteristics that it is represented to possess. In adopting these rules, the state chemist shall adopt the current good manufacturing practice regulations for Type A medicated articles and Type B and Type C medicated feeds established under authority of the federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 301 et seq.), unless the state chemist determines that they are not appropriate to the conditions that exist in Indiana.
(10) It contains viable weed seeds in amounts exceeding the limits the state chemist establishes by rule.(11) It consists in whole or in part of any filthy, putrid, or decomposed substance, or it is otherwise unfit for feed.(12) It has been prepared, packed, or held under unsanitary conditions under which: (A) it may become contaminated with filth; or(B) it may have become injurious to health.(13) It is, in whole or in part, the product of a diseased animal or of an animal that has died by means other than slaughter.(14) It is unsafe within the meaning of Section 402(a)(1) or 402(a)(2) of the federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 342(a)(1) and 21 U.S.C. 342(a)(2)).(15) Its container is composed, in whole or in part, of any poisonous or deleterious substance that may render the contents injurious to health.(16) It has been intentionally subjected to radiation, unless the use of radiation was in conformity with a regulation or exemption in effect under Section 409 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 348).Pre-2008 Recodification Citation: 15-5-13-9.
