   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  09-2762
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri - St. Louis   
   [PUBLISHED] [Riley, Author, with Smith and Shepherd, Circuit Judges]
Civil case - Organic Food Production Act of 1990. In view of the Act's text and purpose, the narrowness of its express preemption provision, the presumption against preemption and the tradition of state regulation in the area of consumer protection, the Act's regulatory scheme is not so pervasive as to make a reasonable inference that Congress left no room for the States to supplement it; all claims against the certifying agent QAI, which certified Aurora's milk as organic were preempted by the Act; class action claims that Aurora and retailers sold milk as organic when it fact it was not are preempted; the plaintiffs' claims based on state laws regulating deceptive advertising practices were not preempted, and the matter is remanded for further proceedings on such claims.
