Sec. 91. (1) The director may seize or hold for investigation any milk, dairy product, or equipment which the director may have reason to believe constitutes or may be contributing to an imminent or substantial health hazard or is in violation of this act. Seized milk, dairy products, or equipment shall not be disposed of until a release is obtained from the director. The director shall complete his or her action on any such seized item within a reasonable time, and the farm, plant, or station shall be promptly notified of the director's decision. The director may collect and retain evidence to verify the determination of an imminent health hazard.
(2) Whenever the director finds in any dairy farm, dairy plant, receiving station, transfer station, or vehicle any milk or dairy product which contains any unwholesome substance, or that may be poisonous or deleterious to health or otherwise unsafe, such milk or dairy product shall be declared an imminent or substantial health hazard. The director shall condemn or destroy the milk or dairy product or in any other manner render the same unsalable as human food. A person shall not remove a condemnation or seizure tag attached to any container of condemned milk or cream, or transfer condemned milk to another container and sell or offer for sale the condemned milk for human consumption.
