§ 77725 California Date Definition

• •This law is about dates (the fruit) grown in California.
• •It includes all kinds of dates, whether they are whole or turned into something else (like date syrup or chopped dates).
• •The law was updated in 1995 to make this clear.

A farmer in California grows dates and sells some as whole fruit and others as date paste.

This law says both the whole dates and the date paste count as 'dates' under California rules.
