A dozen states are going to the U.S. Supreme Court to challenge California’s law requiring egg producers from other states to comply with California farming regulations. The suit claims California’s regulations violate federal law prohibiting states from imposing their own standards on eggs produced in other states.
The regulations in California governing egg production say, among other things, that any eggs brought into California to be sold cannot be produced by hens in battery cages.
