A portion of the Massachusetts Question 3 has been ruled unconstitutional. This ballot question was approved by Massachusetts voters in 2016 which banned the sale of pork, eggs and veal from animals raised in confinement. A federal judge in Boston ruled the portion of the law that bans the sale of pork is unconstitutional. However, the other parts of the law will remain in effect. The Triumph Foods pork processing company filed the lawsuit along with a handful of swine operations. That group includes Christensen Farms, which is headquartered in Sleepy Eye, Minnesota, and New Fashion Pork, based in Jackson, Minnesota.
