§ 3.1-769.2. (Repealed effective October 1, 2008) Stop-sale order and seizure
(a) If after inspection, the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services determines that any eggs are being offered, displayed, stored, processed, or transported in violation of this article, the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services may issue a stop-sale order as to such eggs directed to the owner or custodian thereof. Such order shall specify the reason for its issuance and shall detail the character of the violation. No eggs to which a stop-sale order applies shall be marketed until and unless the order has been withdrawn. The Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services shall withdraw a stop-sale order only upon its determination that the conditions leading to the issuance of the order have been corrected.
(b) Whenever the public interest requires, the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services may take possession or custody of the eggs against which a stop-sale order has been issued and may commence proceedings for the seizure thereof. Upon seizure and proof of violation, the eggs shall be disposed of in such manner as may be consistent with the public safety and interest. The owner or custodian of the eggs shall not be entitled to any compensation or damages on account of such seizure or disposition.
