What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under current law, a person is not required to obtain a food processing plant license from the Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection to sell food products that the person prepares and cans at home in this state if all of the following apply: 1) the food products are a fruit or vegetable pickled at a certain pH level; 2) the person sells the food products at a community or social event or a farmers' market in this state; 3) the sold food products are labeled with certain information;
4) the person displays a sign at the place of sale stating that the food product is homemade and not subject to state inspection; and 5) the person receives less than $5,000 per year from the sale of the food product. This bill increases the sales threshold from $5,000 to $25,000, adds sesame to a list of ingredients that must be listed by their common name on food labels, and includes in the food processing plant license exemption food products that are nonpotentially hazardous foods.
