Cottage foods; eliminate annual gross sale cap and internet sale restrictions.
Mississippi's SB 2398 would remove the annual sales cap and restrictions on internet/mail-order sales for home-based cottage food businesses. Currently, these operations cannot sell products via mail order, wholesale, or to retail stores, but the bill would eliminate those limits while keeping labeling requirements (like ingredient lists and the "not subject to safety regulations" statement). It directly affects small home-based food sellers who currently face sales restrictions but must still comply with federal labeling rules. The bill died in committee in February 2026 and is not yet law.
