SCOTUS Rejects Prop 12 Case, Seeks Government View on Roundup

By Ryan Hanrahan

Progressive Farmer’s Todd Neeley reported that “the Supreme Court on Monday denied an Iowa Pork Producers Association petition on California’s Proposition 12. The petition came about after the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit last year rejected the IPPA’s constitutional challenge to the law.”

“Prop 12 makes it a criminal offense and civil violation to sell whole pork meat in California unless the pig it comes from is born to a sow that was housed within 24 square feet of space and in conditions that allow a sow to turn around without touching an enclosure,” Neeley reported. “Proposition 12 applies to any uncooked pork sold in the state, regardless of whether it was raised in California.”

“In January 2025, 23 states joined the Iowa Pork Producers Association in an appeal to the Supreme Court challenging Prop 12. The challenge stems from a previous Supreme Court ruling on the case, which determined California’s law does not violate the Commerce Clause,” Neeley reported.
