allowing the sale of freeze dried foods produced in homestead food operations.

This bill permits home-based food producers to legally sell freeze-dried foods they prepare at home, expanding the types of products allowed under existing homestead food operation rules. It directly affects small-scale home cooks and artisans who previously could not sell freeze-dried items due to regulatory restrictions. The key provision removes a specific ban on freeze-dried foods, allowing these operations to offer this product category while maintaining safety standards. The law takes effect on November 12, 2025.
