Last week, the US Department of Justice filed a lawsuit against California and insisted that the animal welfare law enacted by the government raised egg prices throughout the country by imposing unnecessary red tapes.
According to the Trump administration’s lawsuit, California’s regulations, which dominate the processing of egg hens under the California regulations, have not used farmers to use a lot of agricultural production methods to help keep eggs at low cheaply by using a wide range of agricultural production methods.
The Ministry of Justice insists that the law should be enacted because the federal government regulates the egg industry through the Federal Egg Products Examination Act in 1970, and that eggs and egg products should be “healthy” and “to properly label and package to protect the health and welfare of consumers.”
“(T) He’s (Constitution) ‘(Constitution) of the constitution (constitution) imposes additional standards that regulate the quality of eggs, so California cannot solve the price of eggs, and the provisions of the problem are invalid.”
The lawsuit, which filed a lawsuit against the US District Court in the Central District of California on Wednesday, nominated the state, the Governor of Gavin Newsom, and the Democratic Lawyer Rob Bonta.
This lawsuit is aimed at a trio of the California law, including a provision that includes a provision that suggests how farmers treat the hens that produce eggs. This includes two voting measures, the proposal No. 2 and 12 proposals, and the law approved by the Republican Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger in 2010.
The proposal 2, approved by voters in 2008, prohibits the imprisonment of egg layer hens, calf calves and pregnant pigs. Voters approved the proposal No. 12, which established the minimum space requirements of the animal in 2018.
In 2015, the 2010 Act prohibits the sale of eggs for human consumption produced by hen hens that are not raised in accordance with the standards included in the proposal 2.
In a statement published on Thursday, Brooke Rollins, a minister of agriculture, found California in California that it caused actual harm to consumers under an egg promise without a cage.
Rollins said, “If California passes the law that affects its own state, it is another thing to influence other states in violation of the US Constitution.
The California Attorney General’s Office withdrew the lawsuit in a statement reported by the Associated Press.
The California Justice Department said, “It will not change the fact that the president’s economic policy is destructive.” “We will see him in court.”
NewSom’s media office also criticized the lawsuit. The governor’s office said, “Trump has returned to his favorite hobby: literally blames everything.”
According to the data released by USDA on Friday, the price of eggs has fallen in recent months after a sharp drop in early 2025 after a surge in early 2025.
The US Labor Statistics Bureau said that egg prices fell almost 3% in May compared to last month. Nevertheless, egg prices rose more than 41% over May compared to the previous year, the agency said.
