The bill amends South Dakota law to authorize producers who meet specific food safety training requirements to sell home-processed poultry and pork. The existing law allows for the sale of certain non-heat-processed foods, baked goods, and frozen fruits and produce, provided they are maintained at safe temperatures. The amendment introduces new provisions that specifically permit the sale of home-processed poultry and pork products, which are exempt under federal and state regulations.

In addition to the new allowances for poultry and pork, the bill also clarifies the temperature requirements for the sale of other food items, ensuring they are consistently maintained at safe levels. The changes aim to expand the opportunities for local producers while maintaining food safety standards.
