Existing law makes it unlawful to produce, process, sell, offer for sale, give away, or possess olive oil that indicates on its label “California Olive Oil,” or uses similar words to indicate that California is the source of the oil, unless 100% of that oil is derived from olives grown in California.
This bill would similarly make it unlawful to produce, process, sell, offer for sale, give away, or possess a mushroom in California, that indicates on the label “California Mushroom,” “California Grown,” or words of similar import that indicate that California is the source of the mushroom, unless 100% of that mushroom is grown in California, and would require the Department of Food and Agriculture to assess a civil penalty against any person violating that prohibition, as specified.
