1. When the director or the director's authorized agent has reasonable cause to believe any lot of commercial feed is being distributed in violation of any of the provisions of sections 266.152 to 266.220 or of any of the prescribed rules under sections 266.152 to 266.220, the director 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 director or the court. The director shall release the lot of commercial feed so withdrawn when said provisions and rules have been complied with. If compliance is not obtained within thirty days, the director may begin, or upon request of the distributor or licensee 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 director to a court of competent jurisdiction in the area in which said commercial feed is located. In the event the court finds the commercial feed to be in violation of sections 266.152 to 266.220 and orders 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, but 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 relabel the commercial feed to bring it into compliance with sections 266.152 to 266.220.
