How fluoride is specifically defined officially by various agencies. By Dr. Richard Sauerheber 8.24.12

13. The Department of Agriculture defines fluorides as pollutants.

while toothpaste is prohibited from being swallowed.
20. The Irish Health Ministry 2012 now defines fluoride as an ingredient in foods and because adding food into water supplies is illegal in Europe, Southern Ireland is expected to soon
ban industrial fluoride infusions into public water supplies, as practiced there with great health adverse consequences, since 1965.
