Adulteration of drugs and devices
Official statutory text
A drug or device shall be deemed to be adulterated:
1. If it consists in whole or in part of any filthy, putrid or
decomposed substance;
2. If it has been produced, prepared, packed or held under
unsanitary conditions whereby it may have been contaminated with
filth, or whereby it may have been rendered injurious to health;
3. If it is a drug and its container is composed, in whole or
in part, of any poisonous or deleterious substance which may render
the contents injurious to health;
4. If it is a drug and it bears or contains, for purposes of
coloring only, a coal tar color other than one from a batch
certified under the authority of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic
Act, 21 U.S.C., Section 301 et seq.;
5. If it purports to be or is represented as a drug the name of
which is recognized in an official compendium, and its strength
differs from, or its quality or purity falls below, the standard set
forth in such compendium. Such determination as to strength,
quality or purity shall be made in accordance with the tests or
methods of assay set forth in such compendium, or, in the absence of
or inadequacy of such tests or methods of assay, those prescribed
under authority of the federal act. No drug defined in an official
compendium shall be deemed to be adulterated under this paragraph
because it differs from the standard of strength, quality or purity
therefor set forth in such compendium, if its difference in
strength, quality or purity from such standard is plainly stated on
its label. Whenever a drug is recognized in both the United States
Pharmacopoeia and the Homoeopathic Pharmacopoeia of the United
States it shall be subject to the requirements of the United States
Pharmacopoeia unless it is labeled and offered for sale as a
homoeopathic drug, in which case it shall be subject to the
provisions of the Homoeopathic Pharmacopoeia of the United States
and not to those of the United States Pharmacopoeia;
6. If it is not subject to the provisions of paragraph 2 of
this section and its strength differs from, or its purity or quality
falls below, that which it purports or is represented to possess;
7. If it is a drug and any substance has been:
a. mixed or packed therewith so as to reduce its quality
or strength, or
b. substituted wholly or in part therefor; or
8. If it is sold or offered for sale and is not lawfully
marketed under the federal act for the purpose for which, and in the
form in which, it is sold or offered for sale, unless the drug or
device has been exempted from the requirements of this paragraph by
the Commissioner of Health, or if the drug is compounded by a
registered pharmacist pursuant to a prescription by a licensed
practitioner.
