    Whenever any poultry product, or any product exempted from the

diseased poultry is found by any authorized representative of the 
Secretary upon any premises where it is held for purposes of, or during 
or after distribution in, commerce or otherwise subject to this chapter, 
and there is reason to believe that any such article is adulterated or 
misbranded and is capable of use as human food, or that it has not been 
inspected, in violation of the provisions of this chapter or of any 
other Federal law or the laws of any State or Territory, or the District 
of Columbia, or that it has been or is intended to be, distributed in 
violation of any such provisions, it may be detained by such 
representative for a period not to exceed twenty days, pending action 
under section 467b of this title or notification of any Federal, State, 
or other governmental authorities having jurisdiction over such article 
or poultry, and shall not be moved by any person, from the place at 
which it is located when so detained, until released by such 
representative. All official marks may be required by such 
representative to be removed from such article or poultry before it is 
released unless it appears to the satisfaction of the Secretary that the 
article or poultry is eligible to retain such marks.
