217 - Definitions.

§ 217. Definitions.  (a)  The  term  "food  salvager"  as used in this
article, means a person  engaged  in  the  business  of  reconditioning,
labeling, relabeling, packing, repacking, sorting, cleaning, culling, or
by  other  means  salvaging  food  or food products, single service food
containers and utensils, soda straws, paper napkins or any product of  a
similar  nature  that may have become damaged, contaminated, adulterated
or misbranded as a result of fire, flood,  transit  wreck,  accident  or
other  cause,  or  by water, smoke, chemicals, or any other adulterating
agents. The term food salvager shall not include a person  who  collects
donated farm salvage from lands owned, occupied or leased by such person
with   the   intent   to  donate  such  farm  salvage  to  a  charitable
not-for-profit organization provided that such salvage  is  in  fact  so
donated.  A  person  who  manufactures  animal  feed  or  an animal feed
ingredient from food products  in  a  facility  registered  pursuant  to
section  one hundred twenty-nine of this chapter shall not be considered
a food salvager based on such activity.

(b) "Donated farm salvage" shall mean an agricultural crop that is unharvested, surplus or unmarketable but otherwise nutritious and edible.
