Okla. Stat. tit. 2, § 2-7-419: Quarantine of dairy products - Condemnation actions -

Costs - Correction of violation - Bond.

A. Whenever the Commissioner of Agriculture finds any dairy

product, in whole or in part, that fails to meet the requirements of

the Oklahoma Milk and Milk Products Act, or that a product is

handled in violation of law or rules of the State Board of

Agriculture, a tag or other appropriate marking shall be affixed

which shall give notice that the dairy product is, or is suspected

of, being manufactured, produced, handled, sold, or offered for sale

in violation of law or rules of the Board, and is quarantined, and

warning all persons not to remove or dispose of the dairy product

until permission for removal or disposal is given by the

Commissioner. It shall be unlawful for any person to remove or

dispose of the dairy product quarantined without permission.

B. If the Commissioner finds that dairy product quarantined

pursuant to subsection A of this section does not meet the

requirements of law, or the rules, the Commissioner may institute an

action in the district court in whose jurisdiction the dairy product

is quarantined, for the condemnation and destruction of the dairy

product. If the Commissioner finds that the dairy product

quarantined does meet the requirements of law and the rules, the

Commissioner shall remove the quarantine. In any court proceeding

regarding a quarantine, the State Department of Agriculture or the

Commissioner, shall not be held liable if the court finds probable

cause for the quarantine.

C. If the court finds that a quarantined dairy product, in

whole or in part, is in violation of the law, the dairy product

shall be destroyed at the expense of the owner or defender, under

the supervision of the Commissioner. All court costs, fees, cost of

storage, and other proper expenses shall be paid by the owner or

defender of the dairy product. The court may order that the dairy

product be delivered to the owner or defendant for appropriate

labeling or processing under the supervision of the Commissioner if

the violation can be corrected by proper processing of the dairy

product, all costs, fees, and expenses have been paid, and a

sufficient bond is executed and conditioned for appropriate labeling

or processing as the court may require. The expense of supervision

shall be paid to the Commissioner by the person obtaining release of

the dairy product under bond.
