2023 New York Laws › AGM - Agriculture and Markets › Article 17 - Adulteration, Packing, and Branding of Food and Food Products › 202 - Unavoidable Added Poisonous or Deleterious Substances.

§ 202. Unavoidable  added  poisonous  or deleterious substances.   Any
  poisonous or deleterious substance added to any food, except where  such
  substance  is required in the production thereof or cannot be avoided in
  good manufacturing practice, shall  be  deemed  to  be  unsafe  for  the
  purpose  of  the  application of subdivision two of section two hundred;
  but when such substance is so required or  cannot  be  so  avoided,  the
  commissioner  shall promulgate regulations limiting the quantity therein
  or thereon to such extent as he finds necessary for protection of public
  health, and any quantity exceeding the limits so  fixed  shall  also  be
  deemed  to  be unsafe for the purposes of the application of subdivision
  two of section two  hundred.  While  such  a  regulation  is  in  effect
  limiting  the  quantity  of  any such substance in the case of any food,
  such food shall not, by reason of bearing or containing any added amount
  of such substance, be considered to be adulterated within the meaning of
  subdivision one of section two hundred. In determining the  quantity  of
  such added substance to be tolerated in or on different articles of food
  the  commissioner shall take into account the extent to which the use of
  such substance is required or cannot be avoided  in  the  production  of
  each  such  article,  and  the  other  ways in which the consumer may be
  affected by the same or other poisonous or deleterious substances.
2023 New York Laws › AGM - Agriculture and Markets › Article 17 - Adulteration, Packing, and Branding of Food and Food Products › 202-A - False Advertising.

§ 202-a. False  advertising.  1. An advertisement concerning a food or
  food product shall not be false or misleading in any particular.
2. No publisher,  radio-broadcast  licensee,  advertising  agency,  or
  agency  or  medium for the dissemination of an advertisement, except the
  manufacturer, packer, distributor, or seller of the article to which the
  advertisement relates, shall be subject to  the  penalties  provided  by
  this  chapter by reason of his dissemination of any false advertisement,
  unless he has refused on the request of the commissioner to furnish  the
  name  and  address  of the manufacturer, packer, distributor, seller, or
  advertising agency in the United States, who caused him  to  disseminate
  such false advertisement.
3. Whenever it appears to the satisfaction of the court in the case of
  a  newspaper,  magazine,  periodical, or other publication, published at
  regular intervals (a) that restraining  the  dissemination  of  a  false
  advertisement  in  any  particular issue of such publication would delay
  the delivery of such issue after the regular time therefor, and (b) that
  such delay would be due to the methods  by  which  the  manufacture  and
  distribution  of  such  publication  is  customarily  conducted  by  the
  publisher in accordance with sound business practice,  and  not  to  any
  method  or  device  adopted for evasion of this section or to prevent or
  delay the issuance of an injunction or restraining order with respect to
  such false advertisement or any other  advertisement,  the  commissioner
  shall  exclude such issue from the operation of the restraining order or
  injunction.
2023 New York Laws › AGM - Agriculture and Markets › Article 17 - Adulteration, Packing, and Branding of Food and Food Products › 202-C - Proceedings to Review, Violations and Remedies.

§ 202-c. Proceedings   to   review,  violations  and  remedies.    The
  commissioner may refuse to  approve  any  new  food  additive  or  color
  additive  or  combination  thereof  or  new  use  of a pre-existing food
  additive or color additive on the ground that he is not satisfied as  to
  its  safety.  The burden of satisfying the commissioner as to the safety
  of a food additive or color additive shall be upon the  manufacturer  or
  processor  selling  or  offering  or exposing the food additive or color
  additive or food product in which a food additive or color additive  was
  used  or is an ingredient. Whenever the commissioner is not satisfied as
  to the safety of a food additive or color additive or whenever he  makes
  any  decision  (a)  prohibiting  the  use  of  a  food additive or color
  additive as unsafe; (b) prescribing the conditions under which it may be
  used or establishing a safe, permissible maximum for such food  additive
  or  color additive, his decision with respect thereto may be reviewed in
  the manner provided by article seventy-eight of the civil  practice  law
  and rules and his determination shall be final unless within thirty days
  from  the  date  of  service  thereof  personally  or  by  registered or
  certified mail upon the party affected thereby  a  court  proceeding  is
  instituted  to review such action. Such application shall be made to the
  supreme court in the third judicial district.
The commissioner may institute such action at law or in equity as  may
  appear  necessary  to  enforce  compliance  with  sections  one  hundred
  ninety-nine-a, two hundred and two hundred one of this article, and  any
  rule  or  order respecting a food additive or color additive promulgated
  pursuant  to  sections  one  hundred  ninety-nine-b  and   two   hundred
  fourteen-b  of  this  article and, in addition to any other remedy under
  this chapter or otherwise, may apply for relief by injunction to protect
  the public interest without being compelled to allege or prove  that  an
  adequate  remedy  at  law does not exist. In an action instituted by the
  commissioner to  enforce  compliance  with  said  sections  one  hundred
  ninety-nine-a,  two  hundred  and two hundred one the commissioner shall
  not be required to prove that the food, food additive or color  additive
  mentioned  in  the  complaint  is unsafe and the claim or defense of the
  defendant as to its safety shall be immaterial, provided, however,  that
  the  recognition  by  the federal food and drug administration of a food
  additive or color additive as safe may be alleged as a proper defense.

2023 New York Laws › AGM - Agriculture and Markets › Article 17 - Adulteration, Packing, and Branding of Food and Food Products › 214-D - Legislative Finding and Declaration of Policy.

§ 214-d. Legislative  finding and declaration of policy.  It is hereby
  recognized that appropriate  investigations  of  potential  advances  in
  dairy  and  food  technology  sometime require the market testing of the
  advantages to, and acceptance by consumers, of variations in  food  from
  applicable  definitions  and standards of identity prescribed under this
  chapter.
It is therefore desirable from time to time for  the  commissioner  to
  issue  a  temporary  permit  authorizing  such  market tests in order to
  provide useful  marketing  information  and  to  continue  to  encourage
  technological advances in dairy and food processing.

  firm, partnership,  corporation  or  association  desiring  a  temporary
  permit  to deviate from an existing dairy or food standard or regulation
  may  file  with  the  commissioner  a  written  application  on  a  form
  prescribed  by  the  commissioner.  The  application  shall  include the
  following: (1) name and address of the applicant, (2) a full description
  of the proposed variation from the standard and the basis upon which the
  food so varying is believed to be wholesome and in the interest  of  the
  consumers.  This  description  shall  include  the names, amounts of all
  ingredients and a sample of the label, (3) if the resulting  product  is
  similar  to one for which there is now a definition, the applicant shall
  indicate the nature of the deviation and why it will be  of  benefit  to
  consumers,  (4)  the  applicant  shall  indicate  the time for which the
  permit is desired and how the  product  will  be  distributed,  (5)  the
  commissioner  must  also  receive  a statement of the probable amount of
  such food to be distributed, the areas of distribution and  the  address
  at  which  such  food  will  be  manufactured,  (6) the commissioner may
  require the applicant to furnish samples of the food  varying  from  the
  standard  and  to  furnish  such additional information as may be deemed
  necessary for action on the application, and (7) the  commissioner  may,
  in  issuing a temporary permit, specify a limited marketing area for the

  the applicant. The period that the permit shall be in effect shall be at

  cause,  which  shall  include  but  not be limited to the following: (1)
  violation by the permittee of the terms and conditions  of  the  permit,
  (2)  the application for permit contains an untrue statement of fact, or
  (3) the need therefore no longer exists.

2023 New York Laws › AGM - Agriculture and Markets › Article 17-A - Enrichment of Certain Foods › 215 - Declaration of Policy.

§ 215. Declaration  of  policy.  Since nineteen hundred forty-five the
  legislature  has  recognized  the  need   for   providing   satisfactory
  nutritional  levels  in  bread and flour. The legislature now finds that
  undernourishment still exists in a substantial  number  of  families  in
  this  state  including,  but  not  limited  to,  families  whose diet is
  restricted by economic, cultural, or social factors.
In  order  to  insure  that   these   nutritional   guarantees   apply
  notwithstanding  cultural and other differences in dietary patterns, the
  legislature  hereby  extends  the  authority  of  the  commissioner   of
  agriculture  and  markets to require the enrichment of food products, to
  include other staple foods such as rice, macaroni and noodle products.
The legislature also finds that in the interest of public health,  the
  statutory  enrichment  program  should be made more flexible in order to
  take  advantage  of  present  and  future  developments  in  nutritional
  knowledge and food technology.
2023 New York Laws › AGM - Agriculture and Markets › Article 17-A - Enrichment of Certain Foods › 215-A - Standards for Enriched Foods.

§ 215-a. Standards  for  enriched foods. 1. The commissioner is hereby
authorized and empowered to establish after public hearing  definitions,
standards  of identity and standards of enrichment for any or all of the
food products within the following categories:
(a) wheat flour, corn flour and related products;
(b) bread, rolls and related bakery products;
(c) milled rice;
(d) macaroni and noodle products.
2. The standards of enrichment so established  may  prescribe  maximum
and  minimum  amounts  of  vitamins,  minerals and other nutrients which
enriched products must contain, or such standards may  prescribe  single
level  requirements, with provisions for a reasonable overage within the
limits of good manufacturing practice. In establishing such standards of
enrichment,  the  commissioner  shall  conform,  insofar  as  he   finds
practical,  to  standards  of enrichment promulgated by the secretary of
health, education and welfare pursuant to the  federal  food,  drug  and
cosmetic  act,  and acts amendatory thereof. Any standard established by
the commissioner after public hearing may be amended without hearing, if
the amendment substantially conforms to standards promulgated under  the
federal act.

  may  be  used to accomplish the enrichment of the food products governed

agents. The term food salvager shall not include a person  who  collects
donated farm salvage from lands owned, occupied or leased by such person
with   the   intent   to  donate  such  farm  salvage  to  a  charitable
not-for-profit organization provided that such salvage  is  in  fact  so

  renewal  of  such  license  for  a  period  of  two  years shall be made
  biennially, upon a form prescribed by the commissioner and submitted  no

  grant  a  license  or  may  suspend or revoke a license already granted,
