FAC §58605: “Commodity,” except as otherwise provided in Section 58747, means any agricultural, aquacultural, horticultural (including floricultural), vermicultural, viticultural (including wine) or vegetable pro

“Commodity,” except as otherwise provided in Section 58747, means any agricultural, aquacultural, horticultural (including floricultural), vermicultural, viticultural (including wine) or vegetable product which is produced in this state, any fish or seafood, or any class, variety, or utilization of that product, either in its natural state or as processed by a processor or as processed by a producer for the purpose of marketing that product. It includes bees, honey, and milk as defined in Section 32511. It does not, however, include timber or any timber product. The Legislature hereby declares that the addition of the phrase “(including wine)” in this section is made for the purpose of clarification only and shall not be construed or interpreted as an indication that wine is not a commodity as originally defined by Chapter 404, Statutes of 1937, and as heretofore amended. The Legislature further declares that at the time of the original enactment of the definition of the term “commodity” and at all times since, it intended that wine be, and wine was, included within the definition of the term. Every marketing order issued, signed, or declared effective prior to July 15, 1941, and every act of the director prior to such date which was performed pursuant to the provisions of this chapter and consistent with the declarations which are contained in this paragraph are hereby confirmed, ratified, and validated.
