In June, the US Supreme Court denied, without comment, the North American Meat Institute\\u2019s petition to review its appeal challenging the constitutionality of Proposition 12, California\\u2019s animal confinement law that will go into force in 2022. The Institute vowed to keep up the fight against the law and began consulting its members as to next steps the industry should take.

The high court has declined to settle this issue, so what lies ahead for producers? Is there still time for producers to comply?

MEAT+POULTRY caught up with Christine McCracken, senior analyst-Animal Protein at Rabobank, and Jeff Tripician, president of Perdue Meat Co., which owns Coleman Natural pork brand, to get some insights into the opportunities and challenges of complying with California\\u2019s Prop 12.
