California Exempts Snack Foods From Masa Fortification Law
An appeals court has blocked the enforcement of a California law regarding identification requirements for federal officers. The ruling prevents the state from mandating specific ID protocols for federal personnel within its jurisdiction. This decision creates a legal friction point between state mandates and federal authority. This exemption applies to products like chips and crisps that are extruded through machines using wet masa. The law is expected to cover a portion of the corn masa supply used in food processing. The source noted that wet masa is required for the extrusion process used in these specific snack products.

“So I think the California law will cover a really important swath of the corn masa supply. Okay, so you mentioned snack foods. And I think one of the reasons why wet masa is used in those snack foods is because many of them, if not most, are actually extruded from through machines.”
