198.12 DETAINED COMMERCIAL FEEDS.
1. When the secretary or the secretary's authorized agent has
reasonable cause to believe any lot of commercial feed is being
distributed in violation of any of the provisions of this chapter or
of any of the rules adopted under this chapter, the secretary or
agent may issue and enforce a written or printed "withdrawal from
distribution" order, warning the distributor not to dispose of the
lot of commercial feed in any manner until written permission is
given by the secretary or the court. The secretary shall release the
lot of commercial feed so withdrawn when the provisions and rules
have been complied with. If compliance is not obtained within thirty
days, the secretary may begin, or upon request of the distributor
shall begin, proceedings for condemnation.
2. Any lot of commercial feed not in compliance with said
provisions and rules shall be subject to seizure on complaint of the
secretary to a court of competent jurisdiction in the area in which
said commercial feed is located. In the event the court finds the
said commercial feed to be in violation of this chapter and order the
condemnation of said commercial feed, it shall be disposed of in any
manner consistent with the quality of the commercial feed and the
laws of the state, provided, that in no instance shall the
disposition of said commercial feed be ordered by the court 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. Section History: Early Form
