FOOD AND AGRICULTURAL CODE

SECTION 42881-42886

42881. The enforcing officer may, and if requested by an enforcing
officer of the county of destination shall, affix a warning notice to
any vehicle or other means of transportation, or to any load or lot,
of fruits, nuts, or vegetables which do not conform to the standards
which are established by this division, whether or not the fruits,
nuts, or vegetables are exempt from such standards, and serve a
disposal order upon the owner or person that has custody or
possession of any such load or lot.

42882. The warning notice, the disposal order which directs the
proper disposition of such products, and the disposal order receipt
to be signed by an enforcing officer at destination which confirms
such disposition, shall be in the form which is specified by, and
provided by, the director.

42883. The enforcing officer at the point of destination of such
load or lot shall determine that the load or lot has been delivered
to the consignee at the destination which is specified in the order
and shall then release the load or lot and contersign the disposal
order receipt so given to him. He shall immediately forward the
receipt to the enforcing officer who served the disposal order.

42884. It is unlawful for any person to deliver any load or lot of
fruits, nuts, or vegetables which is subject to a disposal order to
any person or destination except the person or destination which is
shown on the disposal order, unless he is specifically authorized in
writing to do so by an enforcing officer.

42885. It is unlawful for any person to dispose of any load or lot
of fruits, nuts, or vegetables which is subject to a disposal order
prior to the release in writing of the load or lot by the enforcing
officer at the point of destination. This section does not, however,
make it unlawful for any person to unload and store any load or lot
of fruits, nuts, or vegetables which is subject to a disposal order.

42886. It is unlawful for any person to use or dispose of any
fruits, nuts, or vegetables, for which a disposal order has been
issued, in any manner or for any purpose except the manner or purpose
for which such disposal order was issued, unless such person is
specifically authorized in writing to do so by an enforcing officer.
