AI Summary
This bill expands the types of products that can be made and sold by cottage food operations, which are businesses that produce food products in their home kitchens for direct sale to consumers. Specifically, it adds extracts, such as vanilla extract, to the list of "cottage food products" that are considered "nonpotentially hazardous," meaning they do not require strict temperature controls for safety. The bill also clarifies that alcohol can be used to make these extracts, as long as the final product is not intended to be consumed as a beverage. This change aims to broaden the range of permissible items for these small home-based food businesses.
