Senate Bill No. 939 amends various sections of Oklahoma law related to the Homemade Food Freedom Act, the Oklahoma Milk and Milk Products Act, and the sale of eggs. The bill introduces new definitions and expands the scope of sales allowed under the Homemade Food Freedom Act, permitting producers to sell homemade food products directly to informed end consumers or through designated agents at various locations, including farmers markets and retail stores. It also requires producers to assume liability for their products and mandates food safety training for those selling time- or temperature-controlled items. Additionally, the bill clarifies that homemade food products must be labeled with specific information, including allergen warnings and the producer's contact details.
Furthermore, the bill exempts Oklahoma dairy farms and egg producers from certain regulations, allowing them to sell ungraded milk and eggs directly to consumers while assuming liability for these products. It also increases the limit on incidental sales of raw milk from 100 gallons to 500 gallons per month. The amendments aim to facilitate the sale of homemade and farm-produced food products while ensuring consumer safety through proper labeling and liability measures. The act is set to take effect on November 1, 2025.
