25-2707. ADULTERATION. No person shall distribute an adulterated commercial feed. A commercial feed shall be deemed to be adulterated:
(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 commercial feed shall not be considered adulterated under the provisions of this subsection if the quantity of such substance in such commercial feed does not ordinarily render it injurious to health.
(2) If it bears or contains any added poisonous, added deleterious, or added nonnutritive substance which is unsafe within the meaning of section 406 of the federal food, drug, and cosmetic act, as amended, and regulations adopted thereunder other than one which is:
(a) A pesticide chemical in or on a raw agricultural commodity; or
(b) A food additive.
(3) If it is, or it bears or contains any food additive which is unsafe within the meaning of section 409 of the federal food, drug, and cosmetic act, as amended, and regulations adopted thereunder.
(4) If it is a raw agricultural commodity and it bears or contains a pesticide chemical which is unsafe within the meaning of section 408(a) of the federal food, drug and cosmetic act, as amended, and regulations adopted thereunder; provided that where 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, as amended, and regulations adopted thereunder, and such raw agricultural commodity has been subjected to processing such as canning, cooking, freezing, dehydrating, or milling, the residue of such pesticide chemical remaining in or on such processed feed shall not be deemed unsafe if such residue in or on the raw agricultural commodity has been removed to the extent possible in good manufacturing practice and the concentration of such residue in the processed feed is not greater than the tolerance prescribed for the raw agricultural commodity unless the feeding of such processed feed will result or is likely to result in a pesticide residue in the edible product of the animal, which is unsafe within the meaning of section 408(a) of the federal food, drug, and cosmetic act, as amended, and regulations adopted thereunder.
(5) If it is, or it bears or contains any color additive which is unsafe within the meaning of section 721 of the federal food, drug and cosmetic act, as amended, and regulations adopted thereunder.
(6) If it is, or it bears or contains any new animal drug which is unsafe within the meaning of section 512 of the federal food, drug and cosmetic act, as amended, and regulations adopted thereunder.
(7) If any valuable constituent has been in whole or part omitted or abstracted therefrom or any less valuable substance substituted therefor.
(8) If its composition or quality falls below or differs from that which it is purported or is represented to possess by its labeling.
(9) If it contains added hulls, screenings, straw, cobs, or other high fiber material unless the name of each such material is clearly and prominently stated on the label.
(10) If 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 regulations promulgated by the director to assure that the drug meets the requirements of this chapter as to safety. In promulgating such regulations, the director 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, as amended, unless the director determines that they are not appropriate to the conditions which exist in this state.
(11) If it contains viable noxious weed seeds or other weed seeds in amounts exceeding the limits which the director shall establish by rule.
(12) If it consists, in whole or in part, of any filthy, putrid, or decomposed substance, or if it is otherwise unfit for feed.
(13) 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.
(14) 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 which is unsafe within the meaning of section 402(a)(1) or (2) of the federal food, drug, and cosmetic act, as amended, and regulations adopted thereunder.
(15) If its container is composed, in whole or in part, of any poisonous or deleterious substances which may render the contents injurious to health.
(16) If it has been intentionally subjected to radiation, unless the use of the radiation was in conformity with the regulation or exemption in effect pursuant to section 402 of the federal food, drug, and cosmetic act, as amended, and regulations adopted thereunder.
