AB 851

Under current law, retail food establishments must obtain an annual license

from the Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection or one of its

agents. Current law exempts certain retail food establishments from the annual

license requirement, including retail establishments that are primarily engaged in

selling fresh fruits and vegetables, honey, cider, or maple syrup, and retail food

establishments where popcorn is popped, if these retail food establishments are not

required to obtain a license to sell or process other food.

This bill adds retail food establishments that sell or process cotton candy, if the

retail food establishment is not required to obtain a license to sell or process any

other food.
