The Law
Florida takes its citrus industry incredibly seriously. To protect the state's reputation for premium fruit, it is strictly forbidden to use dyes to make green or unripe citrus look ready for the market. Violating the citrus code can lead to hefty fines and the destruction of your inventory.
