Each state maintains their own department of agriculture. Many of these restrict the types of food, fruits, vegetables that can enter the state b/c of concerns about exotics pests, bacteria, etc ..... Why don't these rules violate the commerce clause? Where do states get this authority? I know they get it from state legislatures, but federal law reigns supreme.....

Sorry, random question, been trying to figure it out for a while.... Anyone know?

10th amendment... Believe it or not it still means something...

They have the authority because protecting the states' agriculture is more important than commerce.. lol

I just pulled that out of my ass, but do you see where I'm going with it? Adhering to those rules is pretty important...

So you're asking why they have the right to not allow foods that could possibly be harmful to us?
