Supreme Court to consider NPPC and AFBF challenge to California’s Proposition 12

Supreme Court to consider NPPC and AFBF challenge to California’s Proposition 12

The US Supreme Court will hear arguments in the National Pork Producers Council and Farm Bureau’s challenge to California’s Proposition 12. The groups contend the law sets unrealistic requirements for pork production by regulating industry standards nationwide.

Proposition 12, which was approved by voters in 2018, seeks to ban the sale of pork from hogs that don’t meet the state’s arbitrary production standards, even if the pork was raised on farms outside of California.
