(1)If it bears or contains any poisonous or deleterious substance which may render it injurious to health; but in case the substance is not an added substance such article shall not be considered adulterated under this subdivision if the quantity of such substance in or on such article does not ordinarily render it injurious to health; or
(2)If it bears or contains (by reason of administration of any substance to the live animal or otherwise) any added poisonous or added deleterious substance which is prohibited in the quantity present with respect to such an article under the Federal Wholesome Meat Act and which may, in the judgment of the secretary of the Animal Industry Board make the article unfit for human food; or
(3)If it consists in whole or in part of any filthy, putrid, or decomposed substance or is for any other reason unsound, unhealthful, unwholesome, or otherwise unfit for human food; or
(4)If it has been prepared, packed, or held under unsanitary conditions whereby it may have become contaminated with filth, or whereby it may have been rendered injurious to health; or
(5)If it is, in whole or in part, the product of an animal which has died otherwise than by slaughter; or
(6)If its container is composed, in whole or in part, of any poisonous or deleterious substance which may render the contents injurious to health; or
(7)If it has been intentionally subjected to radiation, unless such use of radiation was permissible under the Federal Wholesome Meat Act and approved by the secretary; or
(8)If any valuable constituent has been in whole or in part omitted or abstracted therefrom; or if any substance has been substituted, wholly or in part therefor; or if damage or inferiority has been concealed in any manner; or if any substance has been added thereto or mixed or packed therewith so as to increase its bulk or weight, or reduce its quality or strength, or make it appear better or of greater value than it is; or
