Sec. 13.
(a) Any added poisonous or deleterious substance, any food
additive, any pesticide chemical in or on a raw agricultural commodity or
any color additive shall with respect to any particular use or intended use
be deemed unsafe for the purpose of application of clause (2) (a) of
Section 10(a) with respect to any food, Section 14(a) with respect to
any drug or device or Section 18(a) with respect to any cosmetic, unless
there is in effect a regulation pursuant to Section 21 of this Act or
subsection (b) of this Section limiting the quantity of such substance and
the use or intended use of such substance conforms to the terms prescribed
by such regulation. While such regulation or a regulation under the Federal
Act relating to such substance is in effect, a food, drug or cosmetic
shall not, by reason of bearing or containing such substance in accordance
with the regulation, be considered adulterated within the meaning of clause
1, Section 10(a), Section 14(a) or Section 18(a).
(b) The Director, when public health or other considerations in this
State so require, is authorized to adopt, amend or repeal regulations,
whether or not in accordance with regulations promulgated under the Federal
Act, prescribing therein tolerances for any added poisonous or deleterious
substances, for food additives, for pesticide chemicals in or on raw
agricultural commodities for direct human consumption or manufactured
food products or for color
additives, including, but not limited
to, zero tolerances and exemptions from tolerances in the case of pesticide
chemicals in or on raw agricultural commodities for direct human
consumption or manufactured food products and prescribing the
conditions under which a food additive or a color additive may be safely
used and exemptions where such food additive or color additive is to be
used solely for investigational or experimental purposes.
