The North American Meat Institute (NAMI) has submitted comments critical of California’s Proposition 12 to that state’s agriculture department which will develop regulations to implement the law. The comment period closed Monday.
The Meat Institute says the law “provides no food safety or animal welfare benefit and imposes substantial burdens on interstate commerce.”
Prop 12 prohibits the sale in California of certain pork and veal products derived from animals not raised under specific space and certain requirements.
