Adding substances to food
Official statutory text
Any poisonous or deleterious substance added to any food, except
where such substance is required in the production thereof or cannot
be avoided by good manufacturing practice, shall be deemed to be
unsafe for purposes of the application of clause (2) of Section
1109(a) of this article, but when such substance is so required or
cannot be so avoided, the State Board of Health shall promulgate
reasonable rules and regulations limiting the quantity therein or
thereon to such extent as the Board finds necessary for the
protection of public health, and any quantity exceeding the limits
so fixed shall also be deemed to be unsafe for purposes of the
application of clause (2) of Section 1109(a) of this article. While
such reasonable rules and regulations are 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 clause (1) of Section 1109(a) of this article. In determining
the quantity of such added substance to be tolerated in or on
different articles of food, the Board 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.
