En esta demanda colectiva de consumidores, los demandantes alegaron que Herb Thyme Farms, Inc. mezclaba deliberadamente hierbas org\u00e1nicas con hierbas no org\u00e1nicas y las vend\u00eda al p\u00fablico como \u201c100% org\u00e1nicas\u201d. Herb Thyme argument\u00f3 que las pretensiones de la ley estatal de los consumidores eran suprimitivas en virtud de la ley federal que regula la certificaci\u00f3n de productos org\u00e1nicos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Herb Thyme Farms ten\u00eda una peque\u00f1a granja que estaba certificada como granja org\u00e1nica. (Si bien los reglamentos federales y estatales son algo complejos, basta decir que para estos fines esta peque\u00f1a granja fue considerada org\u00e1nica tanto bajo la ley de California como federal). Luego, Herb Thyme tambi\u00e9n tiene varias granjas muy grandes que son convencionales, es decir, no org\u00e1nicas. Herb Thyme tom\u00f3 las hierbas cultivadas en su granja org\u00e1nica y las mezcl\u00f3 en cubos con las hierbas cultivadas en sus granjas convencionales. Luego las vendi\u00f3 como \u201c100% org\u00e1nicas\u201d. As\u00ed que, aunque una parte peque\u00f1a de las hierbas en la compra de cualquier consumidor ser\u00e1 org\u00e1nica, bajo ning\u00fan concepto alguien pensar\u00eda que unos pocos productos org\u00e1nicos mezclados con una tonelada de productos no org\u00e1nicos fueran \u201c100% % org\u00e1nicos\u201d.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

El 3 de diciembre de 2015, el Tribunal Supremo de California emiti\u00f3 la primera decisi\u00f3n de apelaci\u00f3n en el pa\u00eds que rechazaba la preeminencia federal en virtud de la Ley de Producci\u00f3n de Alimentos Org\u00e1nicos, permitiendo que una acci\u00f3n colectiva siguiera ejerciendo los derechos de los consumidores que fueron enga\u00f1ados a pagar primas org\u00e1nicas para productos convencionales. En una decisi\u00f3n un\u00e1nime rara, el tribunal superior sostuvo que las demandas de protecci\u00f3n de los consumidores que buscan responsabilizar a los productores org\u00e1nicos por mentir sobre el contenido de sus productos bajo la ley estatal no estaban prohibidas por la ley federal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
