HB 5907 Connecticut House · 2025 Regular Session

AN ACT PROHIBITING THE APPLICATION OF PESTICIDES TO ORGANIC FOODS.

HB 5907 prohibits the application of pesticides to any food labeled and sold as organic under state law. This bill directly affects organic food producers, farmers, and retailers who market certified organic products. The key provision amends statutes to ban pesticide use on organic-labeled foods, ensuring compliance with organic certification standards. It does not address pesticide use on non-organic foods or create new enforcement mechanisms. The bill focuses solely on preventing pesticide application on foods legally marketed as organic.
