§ 3.1-828.14. (Repealed effective October 1, 2008) Detained commercial feeds
A. The Commissioner or his agent may issue and enforce a written or printed stop sale, use, removal or seizure order to the owner or custodian of any lot of commercial feed distributed in violation of this chapter. The Commissioner or his agent shall release for distribution the commercial feed held under a stop sale, use, removal or seizure order when the requirements of this chapter have been satisfied. If the Commissioner or his agent determines that the commercial feed cannot be brought into compliance with this chapter, the Commissioner or his agent shall release the commercial feed (i) to be remanufactured, if possible; (ii) to be returned to the manufacturer; or (iii) to be destroyed.
B. In addition to the provisions of subsection A, the Commissioner or his agent may seize any lot of commercial feed not in compliance with this chapter. The Commissioner or his agent may make application for seizure to a court of competent jurisdiction in the city or county in which said commercial feed is located. In the event that the court finds the said commercial feed to be in violation of this chapter, and orders the condemnation of said commercial feed, the owner of the commercial feed shall dispose of the seized commercial feed in any manner which, in the opinion of the Commissioner, is consistent with the quality of the commercial feed, and which complies with the laws of the Commonwealth. In no instance shall the court order the disposition of said commercial feed without first giving the claimant an opportunity to apply to the court for release of said commercial feed, or for permission to process or relabel said commercial feed, to bring it into compliance with this chapter.
