Stronger protections for Colorado food shoppers

The law bans false Colorado-grown claims for raw or unprocessed plants, fruits, vegetables, and fungi. It covers food sold, marketed, advertised, or distributed in Colorado for people to eat. Covered food comes from farming, horticulture, greenhouses, or controlled-environment growing facilities. Using the Colorado Proud name or logo, including trademarked versions, requires permission from the Colorado Department of Agriculture. Violations are enforceable as deceptive trade practices, but this law does not create a private right to sue. The rules apply only to conduct on or after the effective date. That date is August 12, 2026, if the legislature ends its session on May 13, 2026. Otherwise, the law starts at 12:01 a.m. the day after the 90-day period following final adjournment. A referendum petition filed within that period requires voter approval at the 2026 general election before the law takes effect. Following approval, the effective date is the date the governor officially declares the vote.
