A product that is generally regarded as a food is considered a food under the FD&C Act, even if the product is decomposed or otherwise unfit for consumption. For example, a shipment of incubator reject shell eggs was still “food” although a large percentage of them were inedible.²⁰ The product might not be intended to be eaten, but if there is a danger of the product being diverted to food use, the product is considered a food. Note that the intended use of the product is irrelevant to this determination, which is based on the product being in the form of a food.
