PROP 12 BY CDFA
Animal Care was formed after the passing of Proposition 12 (2018) to implement the law and its first task has been joint promulgation of regulations with Department of Public Health in addition to outreach and education of stakeholders.
Animal Care by CDFA
On November 6, 2018, California voters approved Proposition 12, the Farm Animal Confinement Initiative. This law requires that covered animals be housed in confinement systems that comply with specific minimum standards for freedom of movement, cage-free design, and minimum floor space, and identifies covered animals to include veal calves, breeding pigs and egg-laying hens, as specified.
The law prohibits a business owner or operator from knowingly engaging in a sale within the state of California that are not approved for the Animal Care by CDFA, aka Prop 12, new program.
Validus, a division of Where Food Comes From, Inc.,
is approved to conduct these audits.
