Chile Pepper Fun Fact - You Have the Right to Remain Spicy
ONLY MADE IN NEW MEXICO!
New Mexico has a state law that makes it illegal to knowingly sell chile or chile products labeled "New Mexico grown" if the chile wasn't grown in New Mexico!
If you live outside of New Mexico and want to buy New Mexico chile – fresh, dried, or powder – be sure to buy from a trusted New Mexico source. It has been found that some vendors sell "New Mexico chile products", but the chile could come from outside of New Mexico, making it illegal.
