(a) May be seized by the director or any enforcement officer.

(b) By order of the superior court of the county within which the honey and its containers may be located, shall be condemned and destroyed, or released upon conditions the court, in its discretion, may impose to ensure that it will not be packed, delivered for shipment, shipped, transported, or sold in violation of this chapter.
