Okla. Stat. tit. 2, § 2-6-280.2: Purpose

A. Rabbit and rabbit products are an important source of the

nation's total supply of food. It is essential in the public

interest that the health and welfare of consumers be protected by

assuring that slaughtered rabbit and rabbit products distributed to

them are wholesome, not adulterated, and properly marked, labeled,

and packaged. Unwholesome, adulterated, or misbranded rabbit or

rabbit products are injurious to the public welfare, destroy markets

for wholesome, not adulterated, and properly labeled and packaged

rabbit and rabbit products, and result in sundry losses to rabbit

producers and processors of rabbit and rabbit products, as well as

injury to consumers. The unwholesome, adulterated, mislabeled, or

deceptively packaged articles can be sold at lower prices and

compete unfairly with the wholesome, not adulterated, and properly

labeled and packaged articles, to the detriment of consumers and the

public generally.

B. It is hereby declared to be the policy of the Legislature of

this state to provide for the inspection of rabbit and rabbit

products and otherwise regulate the processing and distribution of

such articles to prevent the movement or sale in intrastate commerce

of rabbit and rabbit products which are adulterated or misbranded.
