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 the revised legal language, the bill removes the conjunction "and" from the list of permissible food items and adds two new categories: home-processed poultry, exempt under federal regulation 9 C.F.R. 381.10(c) effective January 1, 2025, and home-processed pork products exempt under state law 39-5-11. This change aims to expand the opportunities for local producers to sell their products while ensuring compliance with food safety standards.
