(a)
				  "Adulterated" shall apply to any carcass, part thereof, rabbit or rabbit
				  products under one or more of the following circumstances:
(1) if it bears or contains any toxic or
				  deleterious substance which may render it injurious to health; but in case the
				  substance is not an added substance, such article shall not be considered
				  adulterated under this paragraph if the quantity of such substance in or on
				  such article does not ordinarily render it injurious to health,
(2) if it bears or contains, by reason of
				  administration of any substance to live rabbits or otherwise, any added
				  poisonous or added deleterious substance, other than one which is:
(A) a pesticide chemical in or on a raw
				  agricultural commodity,
(B) a food
				  additive, or
(C) a color additive;
				  which, may, in the judgment of the Board make such article unfit for human
				  food;
(3) if it is, in
				  whole or in part, a raw agricultural commodity and such commodity bears or
				  contains a pesticide chemical which is unsafe within the meaning of Section
				  Number 408 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act,

				  Section Number 706 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. Provided, that
				  an article which is not otherwise deemed adulterated under paragraph (2), (3),
				  or (4), shall nevertheless be deemed adulterated if the use of the pesticide
				  chemical, food additive, or color additive in or on such article is prohibited
				  by regulations of the Board in establishments at which inspection is maintained
				  pursuant to the Oklahoma Rabbit and Rabbit Products Inspection Act.
(6) if it consists in whole or in part of any
				  filthy, putrid, or decomposed substance or is for any other reason unsound,
				  unhealthful, unwholesome, or otherwise unfit or esthetically unacceptable for
				  human food;
(7) if it has been
				  prepared, packed, or held under unsanitary conditions whereby it may become
				  contaminated with filth, or whereby it may have been rendered injurious to
				  health,
(8) if it is, in whole or
				  in part, the product of any rabbit which has died otherwise than by
				  slaughter,
(9) if its container is
				  composed, in whole or in part, of any poisonous or deleterious substance which
				  may render the contents injurious to health,
(10) if it has been intentionally subjected
				  to radiation unless the use of the radiation was in conformity with a
				  regulation or exemption in effect pursuant to Section Number 409 of the Federal
				  Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, or
(11) if any valuable constituent has been in
				  whole or in part omitted or abstracted; or if any substance has been
				  substituted, wholly or in part therefore; or if damage or inferiority has been
				  concealed in any manner; or if 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.
