Most food products in California have detailed legal definitions. Chris Tan, founder and co-owner of Gelateria Naia in Hercules, says ice cream is a good example of that, and a good model for the standards he has proposed for gelato.

Tan considers his company to be part of the Slow Food movement--it takes about 16 hours to make a batch of gelato--and he hopes the definition he has proposed will reinforce California's position as a leader in adopting healthy food standards.
