Illinois Code § 3.5

§ 3.5.

Product origin. (a) All vendors or booths selling specialty crops and raw agricultural commodities at a farmers' market in Illinois must post at the point of sale a placard or include on a label or packing slip the physical address of the farm or farms on which those products were grown or produced. Specialty crops and raw agricultural commodities purchased through wholesale or retail markets may be offered for resale at a farmers' market. If the physical address of the farm or farms where the products were grown or produced is unknown, then the vendor must post at the point of sale a placard or include on a label or packing slip the physical address and business name, when applicable, where the products were purchased. (b) Specialty crops and raw agricultural commodities direct marketed at farmers' markets that do not include a placard at the point of sale or on a label or packing slip stating the physical location of the farm on which those products were grown or produced shall be considered misbranded. (c) Any related federal rules or regulations adopted through the implementation of the federal Food Safety Modernization Act regarding transparency, traceability, and product origin labeling pertaining to specialty crops and raw agricultural commodities shall supersede the provisions of this Section.
