Amendments to CCR Title 3 Section 3867 on Labeling of Seed Containers
This rulemaking action by the California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) adopts labeling requirements for vegetable seeds in containers of more than one pound. California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) Plant Health Regulation Activities: California Notice Register, Number 5-Z, 30 January 2026; page 145:
Proposed rule - This is a Notice rulemaking action that outlines the correct procedures for labeling seed containers. Providing the number of noxious weed seeds on the label is important to maintain truth in labeling and to protect growers as well as public land. Harmonizing with the Federal Seed Act allows seeds to move more easily within commerce and helps maintain the integrity of California seed law. The Department also corrects a California Food and Agricultural Code (FAC) reference, it was listed as FAC 55424 instead of the correct 52454.
