This bill amends R.S. 40:4.9(B) concerning the sale of homemade food to the public in Louisiana. The primary change is the modification of the gross annual sales threshold that determines eligibility for the low-risk homemade food exemption from the Sanitary Code and other food safety laws. Previously, the threshold was set at thirty thousand dollars, but the new legislation raises this amount to one hundred thousand dollars.

Additionally, the bill clarifies that the provisions of this section do not apply to preparers of low-risk foods whose gross annual sales meet or exceed the new threshold. This change aims to provide greater flexibility and support for individuals engaged in the homemade food business, allowing them to operate under less stringent regulations as long as their sales remain below the specified limit.
