Bill Summary
AN ACT To amend and reenact R.S. 40:4.9(B), relative to homemade food for sale to the public; to modify the gross sale amount to qualify for low-risk homemade food exemption to the Sanitary Code and other food safety laws; and to provide for related matters.
AI Summary
This bill amends existing Louisiana law, specifically R.S. 40:4.9(B), to adjust the financial threshold for individuals preparing "low-risk foods" in their homes for sale to the public to be exempt from certain food safety regulations, often referred to as the Sanitary Code. Previously, this exemption applied to those with gross annual sales of $30,000 or less; this bill increases that limit to $100,000, meaning more home-based food businesses will now qualify for this exemption, allowing them to operate without needing to adhere to the full scope of food safety laws that typically apply to commercial food establishments.
