Over 1,250 Producers Qualify Under Prop 12

The California Department of Food and Agriculture says there are more than 1,250 agricultural producers and distributors in compliance with Proposition 12.

After multiple delays brought on by court challenges and the need for a Supreme Court ruling, Prop 12 is now in effect.

The CDFA says producers are prepared the meet the state’s demand for cage-free eggs and crate-free pork after the measure took full effect on January 1.

California voters initially approved Prop 12 in November 2018, with the provisions originally intended to be in place by January 2022.
