California is the largest state in the nation. Along with bacon, pork products include hams, sausages, pork chops, and hot dogs. It will be hard for companies who make these products, like Oscar Mayer, to decide to forgo doing business in California.

If Oscar Mayer chooses to meet the California standards then either they will need to pass the new requirements along to all of their pork farmers or they will need to create separate processing lines and sources for products sold in California. Either way it will be an increased cost of doing business for the company that will likely be passed along to us all.
