(b)

All poisonous substances except those naturally present in the material or materials from which the feeding stuff is derived.

(c)

Sand, silicious matter or other insoluble mineral matter not naturally associated with ingredients of the feeding stuff which do not fall within the scope of this Schedule, or which, even if naturally so associated, are present in greater proportion than the maximum that may be expected to be due to such natural association.
