PENALTIES FOR VIOLATIONS
According to the UT office: “Violations of the Utah Agricultural Code are punishable either as a Class B misdemeanor, by citation of up to $500.00, or civilly by fines of up to $5,000.00 per occurrence.”

We have never had a customer receive a penalty like these above.

Almost all violations can be resolved with a letter to the UT office, a renewal of an overdue registration or a change to the label design, depending on what the violation is for.

The UT office wants to work with the company to be compliant with their laws. They do not wish to enforce harsh penalties unless it is absolutely necessary. It would take a lot of failure by the company to receive a harsh penalty.
