Defining 'local, locally grown or regional"
Main_Content
When the terms
local or locally grown or regional are used to promote an agricultural product, the name of the state from which the product was originally grown or raised
must be immediately adjacent to the words (local or locally grown or regional.)
In the case of fish or shellfish, the state where the seafood was raised or landed is required.
For intermingled product from different states, each state shall be listed.
