Bill > SB152

This bill enacts the "Truth in Labeling of Food Products Act" in Louisiana to protect consumers from misleading and false labeling of agricultural products like beef, pork, poultry, crawfish, shrimp, meat, sugar, and rice. It prohibits misbranding or misrepresenting these products, such as by affixing false or misleading labels, selling a product under the name of an agricultural product it does not conform to, or using terms historically associated with specific agricultural products. The bill grants the Commissioner of Agriculture and Forestry the authority to enforce these provisions, including by imposing civil penalties of up to $500 per violation and seeking injunctive relief.
