Ohio Revised Code Title IX. Agriculture Animals Fences § 919.11

No person shall mix horse meat with the parts of any other animal, sell, offer, or expose for sale any such mixture for human consumption within this state.

No person shall sell for human consumption the tongue, diaphragm, heart, esophagus, lips, ears, or glands of a horse, nor shall these parts of a horse be included in a horse meat food product intended for human consumption.

Any horse carcass, horse meat, or horse meat food product sold, offered, or exposed for sale, which is unlabeled as to use or is labeled as pet or animal food, shall be decharacterized with charcoal or green food dye. Suggestive pictures or designs on the label shall be considered as indicative of the use of the product.
