| From Chapter: Economic Powers of State Governments What did the Supreme Court hold in Hunt v. Washington State Apple Advertising Commission (1977)? |
| The Court struck down a North Carolina law prohibiting the sale of apples in closed containers marked with any apple grade other than USDA grades. The Court found that North Carolina's law violated the Commerce Clause by needlessly discriminating against Washington state apple producers while working to the advantage of local North Carolina apple growers. |
