§ 42944 False Produce Claims

• •You can't lie about fruits, nuts, or vegetables when you talk or write about them.
• •This includes lying about how good they are, how big they are, or if they're fresh.
• •It doesn't matter if you say it out loud, write it down, or tell people in any other way—lying is not allowed.

A seller at a farmers market tells customers their strawberries are fresh and just picked, but they are actually old and starting to rot.

This is against the law because the seller is lying about the condition of the strawberries to trick people into buying them.
