1. Products of Diseased Animals (DISEASED)

Charge Code: DISEASED Legal Basis: Section 402(a)(5), 801(a)(3); ADULTERATION Charge Statement (verbatim from CSV):

> "The food appears to be, in whole or in part, the product of a diseased animal or of an animal which has died otherwise than by slaughter."

Why It Matters for Pet Food:

• Rendered animal proteins (chicken meal, meat meal, bone meal) sourced from animals that died by disease or non-slaughter causes are adulterated under 402(a)(5)
• This charge is distinct from 402(a)(3) (unfit for food) — it specifically addresses the source animal's condition
• Common in rendered protein ingredients from regions with limited veterinary oversight
• The related *** code appears to be a secondary Diseased animal charge with the same legal basis

Snippet from official CSV: `` CODE: DISEASED SECTION: 402(a)(5), 801(a)(3); ADULTERATION TEXT: The food appears to be, in whole or in part, the product of a diseased animal or of an animal which has died otherwise than by slaughter. ``
