California judge delays enforcement of part of bacon law that critics say would cause price hikes, supply shortages

The lingering effects of the supply chain issues are centered around the pandemic, and the ripple effect has created problems at every level.

Rebecca Cary, senior staff attorney at the the Humane Society of the United States, which supported Proposition 12, decried business groups seeking to overturn or delay a law that prevents cruelty to animals. Producers of eggs and veal appear able to meet the new law, but hog farmers argued the changes would be too expensive and couldn't be carried out until the state approved final regulations for the new standards. An estimate last year from North Carolina State University found the new standard would cost about 15% more per animal for a farm with 1,000 breeding pigs.
