(1) Stop distribution, manufacture, or use as feed.

The commissioner shall release the feed subject to the order when the applicable provisions and rules have been complied with. If the distributor does not come into compliance within thirty days, the commissioner may begin, or upon request of the distributor, manufacturer, or feeder shall begin, proceedings for condemnation.
(2) Condemnation and confiscation. Any feed not in compliance with this article or rules promulgated pursuant to this article are subject to seizure on complaint of the commissioner to a court of competent jurisdiction in the district or county where the feed is located. If the court finds the feed to be in noncompliance with this article or rules promulgated pursuant to this article and orders the condemnation of such feed, it must be disposed of in a manner consistent with the quality of the feed and the laws of this state; except that the court shall not order the disposal of the feed without first giving the distributor or other 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 this article or rules promulgated pursuant to this article.
