Illinois Statutes Chapter 505. Agriculture § 30/11. Detained commercial feeds

§ 11. Detained commercial feeds. (a) “Withdrawal from distribution” orders: When the Director or his authorized agent has reasonable cause to believe any lot of commercial feed is being distributed in violation of any of the provisions of this Act or of any of the prescribed regulations under this Act, he may issue and enforce a written or printed “withdrawal from distribution” order, warning the registrant or distributor not to dispose of the lot of commercial feed in any manner until written permission is given by the Director or the Court. The Director shall release the lot of commercial feed so withdrawn when the provisions and regulations have been complied with. If compliance is not obtained within 30 days, the Director may begin, or upon request of the distributor or registrant shall begin, proceedings for condemnation.

(b) Condemnation and confiscation: Any lot of commercial feed not in compliance with the provisions and regulations shall be subject to seizure on complaint of the Director to a court of competent jurisdiction in the county in which the commercial feed is located. In the event the court finds the commercial feed to be in violation of this Act and orders the condemnation of the 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 the commercial feed be ordered by the court without first giving the claimant an opportunity to apply to the court for release of the commercial feed or for permission to process or re-label the commercial feed to bring it into compliance with this Act.
