Kansas HB2158 allows beekeepers meeting specific criteria to sell packaged honey and honeycombs without a food establishment license.

Kansas HB2158 modifies the Kansas food, drug and cosmetic act to exempt certain beekeepers from needing a food establishment or food processing plant license. Beekeepers can sell packaged honey and honeycombs if they meet requirements such as packaging on their property, labeling with specific information, keeping products unaltered, and maintaining records of sales. The annual gross sales from honey and honeycombs must not exceed $50,000. Beekeepers must also pay a $5 fee. This exemption does not apply if a violation is observed or reported.
