§ 830. Sale of sodium nitrate and sodium nitrite. 1. No person,
corporation, partnership, limited liability company, firm or any other
business entity doing business within this state shall sell or offer for
sale sodium nitrate or sodium nitrite to any person under the age of
twenty-one. This restriction shall not apply to foods containing sodium
nitrate or sodium nitrite in compliance with the requirements of 9 CFR
Part 424 or 21 CFR Part 172.

selling, offering for sale, or distributing sodium nitrate or sodium
nitrite, except as permitted by subdivision one of this section, shall
require proof of legal age prior to allowing an individual to purchase
or receive a shipment of sodium nitrate or sodium nitrite. Such
identification need not be required of any individual who reasonably
appears to be at least thirty years of age, provided, however, that such
appearance shall not constitute a defense in any proceeding alleging the
sale or distribution of sodium nitrate or sodium nitrite to an
individual under twenty-one years of age.

firm or any other business entity that violates the provisions of this

section shall not be construed to limit any other criminal or civil
liability such person, corporation, partnership, limited liability
company, firm or other business entity may be subject to under law.
