§ 111865 Detained Product Disposal Ban

• •If the government or a court says a food, drug, or cosmetic is not safe and must be kept away from people, you cannot move, sell, or get rid of it.
• •You need special permission from the government or a court to do anything with these items if they are under a hold.
• •This rule helps keep people safe by making sure bad or unsafe products don’t get used or sold.

A store has a batch of spoiled milk that the health department says must be kept off the shelves.

If the store owner tries to sell the spoiled milk anyway, they are breaking the law. They must wait for the health department to say it’s okay to throw it away or return it.
