Cal. Food & Agric. Code § 15075

(a) Any lot of commercial feed for which a hold order or notice is issued shall be held by the person having control of the feed and shall not be disturbed or moved except under the specific directions of the director pending final disposition pursuant to this chapter. This restriction does not prevent the person having control of the feed from inspecting any feed so seized, nor from taking therefrom, in the presence of a person designated by the director, a reasonable sample for evidence.

(b) The movement, distribution, or sale of all or part of any lot, parcel, or package of commercial feed that has been quarantined by the director, unless the movement has the prior approval of the director, is a misdemeanor punishable by a fine of not more than five hundred dollars ($500). A second or subsequent violation of this subdivision is a misdemeanor punishable by a fine of not less than one thousand dollars ($1,000).
