Any matter contained in an article of food which may be carried from the packaging materials used for its manufacture or which is added to it, but such matter does not render such article of food unsafe

Any matter contained in an article of food which may be carried from the process systems used for its manufacture or which is added to it, but such matter does not render such article of food unsafe

Any matter contained in an article of food which may be carried from the raw materials used for its manufacture or which is added to it, but such matter renders such article of food unsafe

Answer and explanation

Correct answer D

The statement that extraneous matter renders food unsafe is incorrect under section 3(1)(i). The statutory definition covers matter carried from raw materials, packaging materials or process systems, or added to food, on the condition that it does not make the food unsafe. That final qualification distinguishes this defined category from a safety hazard.
