Okla. Stat. tit. 63, § 63-1-1105

(a) Whenever a duly-authorized agent of the State Commissioner

of Health finds, or has probable cause to believe, that any food is

adulterated, or so misbranded as to be dangerous or fraudulent,

within the meaning of this article, he shall affix to such article a

tag or other appropriate marking, giving notice that such article

is, or is suspected of being, adulterated or misbranded and has been

detained or embargoed, and warning all persons not to remove or

dispose of such article by sale or otherwise until permission for

removal or disposal is given by such agent or the court. It shall

be unlawful for any person to remove or dispose of such detained or

embargoed article by sale or otherwise without such permission for a

period of fifteen (15) days after such tag or other marking has been

affixed thereto.

(b) When an article detained or embargoed has been found by such

agent to be adulterated or misbranded, he shall petition the

district court in whose jurisdiction the article is detained or

embargoed for condemnation of such article. When such agent has

found that an article so detained or embargoed is not adulterated or

misbranded, he shall remove the tag or other marking.

(c) If the court finds that a detained or embargoed article is

adulterated or misbranded, such article shall, after entry of the

decree, be destroyed at the expense of the claimant thereof, under

the supervision of such agent, and all court costs and fees, and

storage and other proper expenses shall be taxed against the

claimant of such article or his agent; provided, that when the

adulteration or misbranding can be corrected by proper labeling or

processing of the article, the court, after entry of the decree and

after such costs, fees, and expenses have been paid and a good and

sufficient bond, conditioned that such article shall be so labeled

or processed, has been executed, may by order direct that such

article be delivered to the claimant thereof for such labeling or

processing under the supervision of an agent of the State

Commissioner of Health. The expense of such supervision shall be

paid by the claimant. Such bond shall be returned to the claimant

of the article on representation to the court by the Commissioner

that the article is no longer in violation of this article and that

the expenses of such supervision have been paid.

(d) Whenever the State Commissioner of Health or any of his

authorized agents shall find in any room, building, vehicle of

transportation or other structure any meat, seafood, poultry,

vegetable, fruit or other perishable articles which are unsound, or

contain any filthy, decomposed or putrid substances, or that may be

poisonous or deleterious to health or otherwise unsafe, the same

being hereby declared to be a nuisance, the Commissioner, or his

authorized agent, shall forthwith condemn or destroy the same, or in

any other manner render the same unsalable as human food.
