Organic food lawsuits now possible in California

California has passed a new law that opens the door for lawsuits to be filed against farmers who make false claims that their products are “organic”.

Morrison & Foerster LLP, a global law firm, commented in a client alert: “In reaching this decision, the California Supreme Court may have opened the floodgates for ‘organic’ claims, permitting anyone to stand in the shoes of a regulator to police (and demand payouts) for technical violations of this complex and developing area of law.”
