Hey, y’all! Please help support us local/small businesses and add a comment of support. Link is in OP. Thanks!🤎
SB 829 is alive! It will be heard by the House Public Health Committee on Monday, May 15!
SB 829 updates the Texas cottage food law by:
- increasing the sales cap to $100,000 per year (from $50,000)
- making home addresses on labels optional with DSHS registration
- adding refrigerated baked goods like cheesecakes, custards, pumpkin pies, flan to the list of allowed foods
- allowing wholesale for cottage foods
- clarifying that cities and health departments may not require permits of cottage food producers
This bill will provide countless new opportunities for local entrepreneurs - please help!
WE NEED COMMENTS - leave a comment about how this bill would help you, or someone you love, so the Public Health committee knows it has public support!
