Summary
California statutory law provides that the Secretary of Food and Agriculture may order any animal raised for the production of any food product, to be held and segregated if the secretary determines that the animal is or may be carrying in its body pesticides, poisons, or other deleterious substances, including, among others, antibiotics, which may render any food product from the animal injurious to human health. This measure would provide that, as of January 1, 2015, no person shall, for a nontherapeutic purpose, cause any animal raised for the production of any human food product to ingest, or administer to any such animal, any antibiotic. This measure would make the violation of that provision a misdemeanor.
