A restaurateur is suing the state of Arizona to block its upcoming cage-free egg mandate.

The legal complaint (pdf) in Union LLC v. Arizona Department of Agriculture, filed in Arizona Superior Court, comes after the Arizona Department of Agriculture (AZDA) issued a regulation requiring that all chicken eggs and egg products sold in the state come from hens that were housed in a cage-free manner.
