TRENTON – Legislation sponsored by Sen. Jeff Van Drew to promote locally-grown fruits and vegetables by expanding the Jersey Fresh program to baked goods and other food products was recently approved by the Senate.
It now heads to the desk of the governor.
The bill (S-1179) would designate baked goods and other products made with Jersey Fresh ingredients "Made With Jersey Fresh."
"Jersey Fresh is a brand consumers have grown to know and love," said Van Drew (D-Cape May/Atlantic/Cumberland). "With this new designation, shoppers will be able to immediately spot baked goods and other foods that are made with the same high-quality, great tasting produce they trust."
