What it would have done

Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.

Current law requires food processing plant licenses from the Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP) for certain facilities at which food is manufactured or prepared for sale through processes such as baking, canning, freezing, and bottling, with specified exemptions.

This bill provides an exemption from the requirement to obtain a food processing plant license for the face-to-face sale of nonhazardous homemade baked goods to consumers by a person who receives less than $10,000 per year from the sale of the food, registers with DATCP, and complies with requirements concerning labeling and signage. A baked good is nonhazardous if it is acidic or has a low amount of moisture and will not support the growth of dangerous organisms.

Read the full summary

Current law provides an exemption from the requirement to obtain a food processing plant license for the sale of food products, such as pickles, that are prepared and canned by a person at home if certain requirements are met. Under current law, the sales of the canned products must take place at a community or social event or a farmer's market. This bill replaces that requirement with a requirement that the sales be face-to-face sales to consumers. Under current law, the exemption only applies if the person receives less than $5,000 per year from the sale of the canned products. Under this bill, the exemption applies if the person receives less than $10,000 per year from the sales.
