When an article detained or embargoed under AS 17.20.230 has been found by the commissioner of environmental conservation or the commissioner of health, as the case may be, to be adulterated or misbranded, the appropriate commissioner shall petition the superior court for a libel for condemnation of the article. When that commissioner finds that a detained or embargoed article is not adulterated or misbranded, the commissioner shall remove the tag or other marking.
