Two agriculture groups appealed to a federal appeals court this week, after a district court in California dismissed their legal challenge to the state's Proposition 12, which involves production standards for pork.
The original lawsuit opposing Proposition 12 was backed by attorneys general who filed a brief in the district court. Those states include Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Ohio, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, Utah and West Virginia.
