LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
SB 1475, as introduced, Caballero.
Food safety: hamburger and imitation hamburger.
Existing law, the Sherman Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Law, requires a restaurant selling hamburger or imitation hamburger, as defined, to accurately inform the consumer public of the contents. Existing law prohibits a restaurant from using the term “hamburger” or “burger” in any advertisement or menu to refer to imitation hamburger.
This bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes to that provision.
