New England residents who love pork caught a break. A Massachusetts federal court judge signed a court order approving an agreement to delay enforcement of a state law banning the sale of pork that comes from animals not raised under the state’s housing standards.

A coalition led by the National Pork Producers Council filed suit seeking to stop the law’s impending implementation. The suit also asks the court to find the law unconstitutional. “This is a significant outcome as NPPC continues to push to preserve the rights of America’s pig farmers to raise hogs in the way that’s best for their animals and maintains a reliable supply of pork,” says Terry Wolters, president of the NPPC.

“The impact would have been especially hard on producers in surrounding states who didn’t have a vote in the Massachusetts referendum.” The agreement ends 30 days after the Supreme Court decides on a suit against California’s Prop 12.
