SECTION 113090

113090. A pet food ingredient or a processed pet food shall be
deemed to be adulterated:
(a) If it bears or contains any poisonous or deleterious substance
that may render it injurious to health; but in case the substance is
not an added substance, the pet food shall not be considered
adulterated under this subdivision if the quantity of the substance
in pet food does not ordinarily render it injurious to health.
(b) If it bears or contains any added poisonous or deleterious
substance, any food additive, any pesticide chemical, or any color
additive that is unsafe within the meaning of the Federal Food, Drug
and Cosmetic Act, or Part 5 (commencing with Section 109875), or
Division 7 (commencing with Section 12501) of the Food and
Agricultural Code.
(c) If it contains a pet food ingredient for which a standard of
identity has been established and the pet food ingredient fails to
meet that standard.
(d) If it has been produced, prepared, packed or held under
insanitary conditions whereby it may have become contaminated with
filth, or whereby it may have been rendered diseased, unwholesome or
injurious to health.
(e) If its container is composed, in whole or in part, of any
poisonous or deleterious substance that may render the contents
injurious to health.
(f) If any valuable constituent has been in whole or in part
omitted or abstracted therefrom.
(g) If any substance has been substituted wholly or in part
therefor.
(h) If damage or inferiority has been concealed in any manner.
(i) 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.
