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; or (2) if it bears or contains any added poisonous or added

deleterious substance which is unsafe within the meaning of Section

1112 of this article; or (3) if it consists in whole or in part of a

diseased, contaminated, filthy, putrid, or decomposed substance, or

if it is otherwise unfit for food; or (4) if it has been produced,

prepared, packed, or held under insanitary conditions whereby it may

have been rendered diseased, unwholesome, or injurious to health; or

(5) if it is the product of a diseased animal or an animal which has

died otherwise than by slaughter, or that has been fed upon the

uncooked offal from a slaughterhouse; or (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; or (2) if any substance has been

substituted wholly or in part therefor; or (3) if damage or

inferiority has been concealed in any manner; or (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 is confectionery and it bears or contains any alcohol

or nonnutritive article of substance except harmless coloring,

harmless flavoring, harmless resinous glaze not in excess of four-

tenths of one percent (4/10 of 1%), harmless natural wax not in

excess of four-tenths of one percent (4/10 of 1%), harmless 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

percent (1/2 of 1%) of volume of alcohol derived solely from the use

of flavoring extracts, or to any chewing gum by reason of its

containing harmless nonnutritive masticatory substances.

(d) if it bears or contains a coal tar color other than one from

a batch which has been certified under authority of the Federal Act.
