But it will be six months before California grocery shoppers can be sure that pork chops they buy under the new law will be from a pig whose mother wasn’t confined in a so-called gestation crate.
DES MOINES, Iowa — A California law approved by voters in 2018 that promises to get breeding pigs out of narrow cages will technically take effect Saturday.
But even after the law goes into effect, California grocery shoppers won't know for a while if pork chops they buy came from a pig whose mother was confined in a tiny crate. That’s because the state recently agreed to allow pork slaughtered before July 1 to be sold in California markets and restaurants for the rest of the year.
Niman stands to benefit from the law because it contracts with farmers that have long met California’s new animal welfare rules.
