condemnation in the circuit court of the county in which the

in any manner consistent with the quality of the commercial feed
and the laws of the State. The court may not dispose of the
commercial feed without first giving the claimant an opportunity
to apply to the court for release of it or for permission to
process or relabel the commercial feed so that it complies with
the provisions of this subtitle.
