HB 347 Louisiana House · 2026 Regular Session

SMALL BUSINESS: Provides for the production of homemade food for sale to the public

HB 347 modifies Louisiana's exemption for home-prepared food sales, setting a new annual gross sales threshold of $30,100 for small producers to avoid certain food safety regulations. It directly affects home-based food vendors whose annual sales remain below this amount, allowing them to operate without complying with full commercial kitchen requirements. The key provision changes the sales limit from a previous threshold (not specified in the text) to $30,100, expanding the exemption for low-risk homemade food businesses. This policy change aims to support small-scale food entrepreneurs by reducing regulatory barriers for sales under the specified limit.
