Despite Legal Setback, Raw Almond Fight Continues

 

The Cornucopia Institute

 

The dismissal, on technical grounds, by a federal court judge on

Monday of a lawsuit challenging the USDA’s raw almond pasteurization

mandate will likely not end the controversy.

 

“The court’s decision sidestepped the merits and substance of the

lawsuit,” said Will Fantle of The Cornucopia Institute, a Wisconsin-

based family farm research group and organizer of the almond lawsuit.

 

The USDA’s lack of legal authority to enact the controversial raw

almond regulation and its fumbling of the rule’s implementation were

among major substantive claims detailed in the lawsuit—none of which

the court has yet to rule on. Eighteen California almond farmers and

wholesale nut handlers had filed the suit against the USDA last

September.
