Food may be examined or sampled by the department of health without charge as often
as may be necessary to determine freedom from adulteration or misbranding. The department
may, upon written notice to the owner or person in charge, place a hold order on any
food which it determines or has probable cause to believe to be unwholesome or otherwise
adulterated, or misbranded. Under a hold order, food shall be permitted to be suitably
stored. It shall be unlawful for any person to remove or alter a hold order, notice
or tag placed on food by the department of health, and neither such food nor the containers
thereof shall be relabeled, repacked, reprocessed, altered, disposed of, or destroyed
without permission of the department. On the basis of his examination the director
of the department of health may vacate the hold order, or may by written order direct
the owner or person in charge of the food which was placed under the hold order to
denature or destroy such food or to bring it into compliance with the provisions of
this article.
