§ 11-13-107 — Warning to distributor; seizure and order of disposition; application for release

(a) When the director or his authorized agents find that
an article is unregistered, mislabeled or misbranded,
adulterated or that it does not conform to its label guarantee,
he may issue a written statement warning the distributor that
the article is considered to be in violation of the law. This
statement is a warning only, to the distributor that if the
article is distributed further the director may bring
proceedings. If the distributor or manufacturer heeds the
warning and corrects the violation within the time allowed by
the director, no further action will be taken.
(b) Any lot of commercial feed not in compliance with
requirements of law and regulations is subject to seizure on
complaint of the director to a court of competent jurisdiction
in the area in which the commercial feed is located. If the
court finds the commercial feed in violation and orders the
condemnation of the feed, it shall be disposed of in any manner
consistent with the quality of the commercial feed and the laws
of the state. In no instance shall the disposition of the
commercial feed be ordered by the court without first giving the
claimant an opportunity to apply to the court for release of the
feed or for permission to process or relabel the feed to bring
it into compliance with the law.
