§ 3.1-758. (Repealed effective October 1, 2008) Definitions
"Garbage" shall mean animal, poultry, and vegetable wastes resulting from the handling, preparation, cooking, and consumption of foods containing animal or poultry carcasses or parts thereof. The Commissioner of Agriculture and Consumer Services may in his discretion exclude from this definition such wastes that have been heat treated to the extent that the resultant material is of a uniform consistency, contains by analysis not more than ten percent moisture, and which he has determined to be nonputrescible. Such treated nonputrescible wastes shall be "commercial feed" as the term is defined in § 3.1-828.2, and shall be subject to the provisions of Chapter 28.1 (§ 3.1-828.1 et seq.) of this title.
"Raw garbage" shall mean all garbage which may contain animal or poultry carcasses or parts thereof regardless of previous processing, which before being fed to swine, has not been heated or otherwise treated so as to destroy the contagion of vesicular disease.
"Cooked garbage" shall mean all garbage which may contain animal or poultry carcasses or parts thereof regardless of previous processing which before being fed to swine has been thoroughly heated to at least 212° Fahrenheit for at least 30 minutes.
"Person" shall mean any person, firm, partnership, corporation, institution, or agency of the State of Virginia, or of any county, city, or town. The term shall not apply to persons feeding domestic household garbage originating on the premises where fed, provided no swine fed such garbage in any amount or any part or parts of such swine shall leave such premises for any purpose.
