2010 Senate Bill 1403

Exempt certain “cottage food operations” from licensure

Introduced in the Senate

June 23, 2010

Introduced by Sen. Cameron Brown (R-16)

To impose a new labeling mandate on sales of “cottage food” produced in a home kitchen. The labels would require much of the same information as is on regular commercial food labels. However, other bills in the package would exempt cottage producers who sell less than $15,000 annually from the licensure and regulation mandates that apply to regular commercial food producers, but this would only extend to “non-potentially hazardous" food.

Referred to the Committee on Agriculture and Bioeconomy
