HB403

Provides for the production of homemade food for sale to the public

Complete·6/8/26

Louisiana HB403 raises the annual sales limit for homemade food producers exempt from certain food safety laws.

Louisiana HB403 modifies existing law to increase the annual sales limit for producers of low-risk, homemade foods sold to the public. Currently, producers can sell up to $30,000 worth of these foods annually without needing to comply with certain food safety laws. The bill raises this limit to $100,000, after which producers would no longer qualify for the exemption. This change aims to provide more flexibility for small-scale homemade food producers.
