Missouri Revised Statutes Title XXVI. Trade and Commerce § 416.505. Operation without license enjoined--“stop-sale” orders, issuance--appeal

In any case where a person acts as a distributor or operates a milk processing plant within this state or such a plant located outside this state and is making sales within this state without having first obtained a license as provided in sections 416.410 to 416.560, the attorney general or the prosecuting attorney shall bring suit in a court of competent jurisdiction within the county in which the violation occurs to enjoin the sales or distribution of milk or milk products. In addition, the director, or his authorized agents or representatives are authorized and empowered to issue and enforce a written or printed “stop-sale” order to the owner or custodian of the milk products. The order shall prohibit the further sale of the milk products until the provisions of sections 416.410 to 416.560 have been complied with. The owner or custodian of the milk products shall have the right to appeal from the order to the circuit court of the county or city in which the milk products are located, praying for a judgment as to the justification of such order and for the discharge of the milk products from the order prohibiting the sale in accordance with the findings of the court.
