USDA's messing with our walnuts again

Key points

• The USDA is proposing to change administrative rules for the California Walnut Board, which oversees the industry.
• The changes were requested by the board itself to streamline its internal operations and expense policies.
• This is a procedural update, not a major shift in food safety or quality standards for the walnuts you buy.
• The public has a chance to comment on these proposed changes before the USDA makes a final decision.
