House Bill No. 2152, introduced by Hall, amends the Homemade Food Freedom Act and the Oklahoma Milk and Milk Products Act. The bill raises the threshold for gross annual sales of homemade food products from $75,000 to $150,000, allowing more producers to qualify as home food establishments. It also modifies the definition of homemade food products and introduces new labeling requirements, particularly for products containing unpasteurized milk, which must now include specific statements on their labels and at points of sale. Additionally, the bill clarifies that raw milk can be sold directly to consumers under the provisions of the Homemade Food Freedom Act.
The bill outlines various conditions under which homemade food products can be produced and sold, including exemptions from licensing and inspection requirements for certain types of food. It mandates that producers complete food safety training before selling time- or temperature-controlled products and provides detailed labeling requirements to ensure consumer safety. The act is set to take effect on November 1, 2025.
