Relating to: exemptions from food product licensing requirements for sale of pickled fruits and vegetables, baked goods, and other shelf-stable food products prepared in a person’s home and granting rule-making authority. (FE)

SB 739 exempts home producers from commercial food licensing requirements when selling pickled fruits/vegetables and baked goods (nonpotentially hazardous foods that don’t require refrigeration). Home producers must register with the state, label products with their name, "made in private home," and ingredients, and limit annual sales to $40,000. Producers with over $10,000 in sales must display a "homemade" sign, maintain insurance, and hold a food safety certificate. The bill establishes new registration rules, labeling standards, and requires inspections for certain producers.
