Summary
Existing law requires the State Department of Public Health to enforce various provisions of existing law regarding the manufacture, blending, production, and sale of olive oil. Existing law makes the violation of these provisions a crime. Existing law defines olive oil to mean the edible oil obtained solely from the fruit of the olive tree to the exclusion of oils obtained using solvents or reesterification processes and of any mixture with oils derived of other kinds except in the making of flavored olive oil. Existing law also defines olive oil grades and provides that olive oil grades are to be in a specified order. This bill would revise the definitions of olive oil and grades of olive oil and olive-pomace oil, as specified. It would require lampante virgin olive oil and crude olive-pomace oil to be refined before consumption. By changing the definition of a crime, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
