Bill Summary

An Act To Amend Section 75-29-951, Mississippi Code Of 1972, To Eliminate The Annual Gross Sales For A Cottage Food Operation To Be Exempt From Food Establishment Permit Fees; To Amend The Online Sale Regulations For Cottage Food Operations; And For Related Purposes.

AI Summary

This bill amends Mississippi law to remove the annual gross sales limit of $35,000 for cottage food operations, meaning there will no longer be a cap on how much money these home-based food businesses can earn and still be exempt from certain permit fees. Additionally, the bill removes restrictions that previously prohibited cottage food operations from selling their products over the internet or by mail order, though it clarifies that while direct online sales are now allowed, advertising of these products online, including through social media, was already permitted. Cottage food operations are businesses that produce certain food items in their home kitchens and are subject to specific labeling requirements, such as listing ingredients and a disclaimer stating they are not regulated by Mississippi's food safety standards.
