Food and Agricultural Code section 58608

“Distributor” means any person that engages in the operation of selling, marketing, or distributing, in intrastate commerce any commodity which he has produced or purchased or acquired from a producer or which he is marketing on behalf of a producer, whether as owner, agent, employee, broker, or otherwise. It does not, however, include a retailer, except a retailer that purchases or acquires from, or handles on behalf of any producer, any commodity which was not previously subjected to regulation by the marketing order which covers such commodity.
