                                 CODE OF VIRGINIA

(FOR EXPIRATION DATE, SEE EDITOR&#8217;S NOTES) JUDGMENT AS TO COVERED PRODUCE
TO BE CONDEMNED OR DESTROYED; PROCEDURE BEFORE AN APPROPRIATE COURT; APPEAL;
PROCEEDS (§ 3.2-5153)

A. Unless otherwise shown or if the covered produce to be condemned or destroyed
pursuant to &#xA7; 3.2-5151 is found upon trial to be in violation of any
provision of 21 C.F.R. Part 112, this chapter, or regulations of the Board
adopted pursuant to &#xA7; 3.2-5148, it shall be the duty of the general
district court to render judgment that the covered produce be forfeited to the
Commonwealth and that the goods be destroyed or sold by the Commissioner for any
purpose other than to be used for food, as defined in &#xA7; 3.2-5129. The mode
of procedure before the general district court shall be the same, as near as may
be in civil proceedings. Either party may appeal to the circuit court as appeals
are taken from the general district court, but it shall not be necessary for the
Commonwealth to give any appeal bond.

B. The proceeds arising from any sale ordered pursuant to subsection A shall be
disposed of in accordance with &#xA7; 19.2-386.14.
