Relating to the definition of a cottage food production operation.

HB 2952 clarifies the definition of a "cottage food production operation" in Texas, allowing home-based producers to make and sell specific foods directly to consumers. It permits items like baked goods (excluding refrigerated items), jams, candy, dried fruits, nuts, and non-refrigerated snacks, while excluding foods requiring temperature control for safety. Producers must earn under $50,000 annually from sales and cannot sell through retailers or restaurants. The law takes effect September 1, 2025, with rules to be adopted by the Health and Human Services Commission.
