Ag groups are making their case in the legal challenge of California’s Proposition 12 this week. Beginning January 1, 2022, Proposition 12 prohibits the sale of pork not produced according to California’s standards and applies to any uncooked pork sold in the state, regardless of if it was raised in California.
Michael Formica, general counsel for the National Pork Producers Council says California was supposed to release their final regulations last September and has yet to do so, and that’s a huge concern for the industry.
