A California law taking effect Jan. 1 could make pork harder to find and more expensive
Thanks to a reworked menu and long hours, Jeannie Kim managed to keep her San Francisco restaurant alive during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Animal welfare organizations for years have been pushing for more humane treatment of farm animals, but the California rules could be a rare case of consumers clearly paying a price for their beliefs. The National Pork Producers Council has asked the U.S. Department of Agriculture for federal aid to help pay for retrofitting hog facilities around the nation to fill the gap. Hog farmers said they haven’t complied because of the cost and because California hasn’t yet issued formal regulations on how the new standards will be administered and enforced.
“It is important to note that the law itself cannot be changed by regulations and the law has been in place since the Farm Animal Confinement Proposition [Proposition 12] passed by a wide margin in 2018,” the agency said in response to questions from the AP.
