Official statutory text
A commercial feed shall be adulterated if:
Oklahoma Statutes - Title 2. Agriculture Page 400
1. a. it contains any poisonous or deleterious substance
which may render it injurious to health. If the
substance is not an added substance, the commercial
feed shall not be considered adulterated under this
subsection if the quantity of the substance in the
commercial feed does not ordinarily render it
injurious to health when utilized according to label
and/or labeling directions, or
b. it 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 other than one which is:
(1) a pesticide chemical in or on a raw agricultural
commodity; or
(2) a food additive, or
c. it is, or contains, any food additive which is unsafe
within the meaning of Section 409 of the Federal Food,
Drug, and Cosmetic Act, or
d. 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. Provided, that where a
pesticide chemical has been used in or on a raw
agricultural commodity pursuant to an exemption or a
tolerance under Section 408 of the Federal Food, Drug,
and Cosmetic Act and the raw agricultural commodity has
been subjected to processing similar to canning,
cooking, freezing, dehydrating, or milling, the residue
of the pesticide chemical remaining in or on the
processed feed shall not be deemed unsafe if:
(1) the residue has been removed to the extent
possible in good manufacturing practice, and
(2) the concentration of the residue in the processed
feed is not greater than the tolerance prescribed for
the raw agricultural commodity unless the feeding of
the 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, or
e. it is or contains any color additive which is unsafe
within the meaning of Section 706 of the Federal Food,
Drug, and Cosmetic Act;

4. 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 rules promulgated
by the State Board of Agriculture to assure that the drug meets the
requirement of this subarticle as to safety and has the identity and
strength and meets the quality and purity characteristics which it
purports or is represented to possess. In promulgating the rules,
the Board shall adopt the current good manufacturing practice
regulations for medicated feed premixes and for medicated feeds
established under authority of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic
Act, unless the Board determines that they are not appropriate to
the conditions which exist in this state; or
