Article 3. Animals Carrying Pesticide Residues of California Food And Agricultural Code >> Division 15. >> Part 1. >> Chapter 2. >> Article 3.

If the director determines that any female dairy animal, including any goat, is carrying pesticide residues in its body or has been fed any feed which contains an amount of pesticide residues which will cause the milk produced from the animal to be adulterated with pesticide residues, he may order the animal to be held on the premises where it is found until he has determined that milk produced by the animal is not adulterated with pesticide residues.

It is unlawful for any person to move any such animal except under written permission of the director and in accordance with the conditions stated in such written permission, or until the hold order has been revoked.

The director shall notify the owner or agent of any animal which is ordered held, or for which he has specified conditions for moving, pursuant to this article.
