N.Y. Agriculture & Markets Law § 258-ii: Violations

§ 258-ii. Violations. In addition to any civil penalties provided for

in this chapter the commissioner may institute such action at law or in

equity as may appear necessary to enforce compliance with any provisions

of this article and any rules and orders promulgated by the commissioner

to carry out the provisions of this article and in addition may apply

for relief by injunction if necessary to protect the public interest

without being compelled to allege or prove that an adequate remedy at

law does not exist. Such application may be made to the supreme court in

any district or county as provided in the civil practice law and rules,

or to the supreme court in the third judicial district.

Whenever the commissioner or his duly authorized representative shall

find distributed, offered or exposed for sale within this state, a dry

milk powder which has originated from any area outside the continental

United States including Alaska and Hawaii that has not been designated

in accordance with section two hundred fifty-eight-cc as being disease

free or which otherwise is unfit or unsafe for use, and its condemnation

is required to protect the public health, he may, in accordance with the

procedures set forth in section two hundred two-b of this chapter, seize

or quarantine and destroy or denature such product so that it cannot

thereafter be used.
