(1) For the purposes of this Act, food is
"unsafe" at a particular time if it would be likely to cause physical harm to
a person who might later consume it, assuming--
(a) it was, after that
particular time and before being consumed by the person, properly subjected to
all processes (if any) that are relevant to its reasonable intended use, and
(b) nothing happened to it after that particular time and before being
consumed by the person that would prevent its being used for its reasonable
intended use, and
(c) it was consumed by the person according to its
reasonable intended use.
(2) However, food is not
"unsafe" for the purposes of this Act merely because its inherent nutritional
or chemical properties cause, or its inherent nature causes, adverse reactions
only in persons with allergies or sensitivities that are not common to the
majority of persons.
(3) In subsection (1),
"processes" include processes involving storage and preparation.
