	AMENDED IN ASSEMBLY  JUNE 9, 2014
	AMENDED IN SENATE  APRIL 1, 2013

INTRODUCED BY   Senator Wolk

                        FEBRUARY 20, 2013

   An act to amend Section 112895 of the Health and Safety Code,
relating to food labeling.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 411, as amended, Wolk. Food labeling: olive oil.
   Existing law requires the State Department of Public Health to
enforce various provisions of existing law regarding the manufacture,
blending, production, and sale of olive oil. Existing law requires
any olive oil produced, processed, sold, offered for sale, given
away, or possessed in this state, that indicates on its label that it
is from an area that is one of the approved American Viticultural
Areas under federal law, to be made of oil 75% of which is derived
solely from olives grown in that approved American Viticultural Area.
Existing law makes the violation of these provisions a crime.
   This bill would require that olive oil be made of oil  at
least 85% of which is  derived solely from olives grown in the
American Viticultural Area that is indicated on the olive oil label.
By changing the definition of a crime, this bill would impose a
state-mandated local program.
   The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local
agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the
state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that
reimbursement.
   This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this
act for a specified reason.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: yes.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  Section 112895 of the Health and Safety Code is amended
to read:
   112895.  (a) It is unlawful to manufacture, sell, offer for sale,
give away, or to possess imitation olive oil in California.
   (b) This section does not prohibit the blending of olive oil with
other edible oils, if the blend is not labeled as olive oil or
imitation olive oil, is clearly labeled as a blended vegetable oil,
and if the contents and proportions of the blend are prominently
displayed on the container's label, or if the oil is a flavored olive
oil.
   (c) Any olive oil produced, processed, sold, offered for sale,
given away, or possessed in California, that indicates on its label
"California Olive Oil," or uses words of similar import that indicate
that California is the source of the oil, shall be made of oil
derived solely from olives grown in California.
   (d) Any olive oil produced, processed, sold, offered for sale,
given away, or possessed in California, that indicates on its label
that it is from an area that is one of the approved American
Viticultural Areas as set forth in Part 9 (commencing with 
Sec.   Section  9.1) of Title 27 of the Code of
Federal Regulations shall be made of oil  at least 85 percent of
which is  derived solely from olives grown in that approved
American Viticultural Area.
   (e) Olive-pomace oil shall not be labeled as olive oil.
  SEC. 2.  No reimbursement is required by this act pursuant to
Section 6 of Article XIII B of the California Constitution because
the only costs that may be incurred by a local agency or school
district will be incurred because this act creates a new crime or
infraction, eliminates a crime or infraction, or changes the penalty
for a crime or infraction, within the meaning of Section 17556 of the
Government Code, or changes the definition of a crime within the
meaning of Section 6 of Article XIII B of the California
Constitution.
