A bill for an act providing for the sale and distribution of certain food, making penalties applicable, and including effective date provisions.

HF 2444 establishes new regulations for specific food sales in Iowa. It creates a licensing system for "farm-to-table events" held on farms (requiring annual permits and compliance with food safety rules), exempts cottage food from most state licensing when sold through food establishments (with labeling and display requirements), and restricts raw milk distribution to licensed farms meeting specific criteria (prohibiting sales at most retail locations but allowing limited delivery to licensed facilities). The bill directly affects farm operators hosting events, cottage food producers, and raw milk dairy farms. Key provisions include mandatory annual licensing for farm events, safety rules for food handling, and strict limits on where raw milk can be distributed.
