Food and agriculture: organic foods: registration.

Existing law requires every person engaged in this state in the production or handling of raw agricultural products sold as organic, retailers that are engaged in the production of products sold as organic, and retailers that are engaged in the processing, as defined, of products sold as organic, to register with the agricultural commissioner in the county of principal operation prior to the first sale of the product. Existing law requires all processors of specified organic agriculturally derived products that are not required to be registered with State Public Health Officer, to register with the Secretary of Agriculture. This bill would make nonsubstantive changes in those provisions.
