Bill Summary
An Act relating to agriculture; amending 2 O.S. 2021, Sections 5-4.2 and 5-4.3, as amended by Section 1, Chapter 16, O.S.L. 2024 (2 O.S.

AI Summary
This bill modifies the Homemade Food Freedom Act to increase the gross annual sales threshold for home food establishments from $75,000 to $150,000, remove the prohibition on unpasteurized milk from the definition of homemade food products, and require specific labeling for products containing unpasteurized milk. The bill adds a new requirement that homemade food products containing unpasteurized milk must include a clear label stating "Contains Unpasteurized Milk" both on the product and at the point of sale. It also amends the Oklahoma Milk and Milk Products Act to explicitly allow direct sales of raw milk to consumers under the Homemade Food Freedom Act. The legislation maintains existing provisions about food safety, such as requiring specific labeling with producer information, ingredient details, and allergen warnings, and continues to exempt these home-produced foods from typical state licensing and inspection requirements. Producers of time- or temperature-controlled foods must still complete approved food safety training, and the bill provides flexibility for selling these products directly to consumers through various channels like farmers markets, online sales, and third-party vendors. The bill is set to become effective on November 1, 2025, giving producers and sellers time to adapt to the new requirements.
