The bill amends the Wyoming Food Freedom Act to expand the sale and marketing of homemade foods, specifically allowing the use of unpasteurized milk as an ingredient in commercial food establishments, provided that consumers are informed in writing that the milk has not been inspected or pasteurized. It introduces new provisions that permit designated agents and third-party sellers to sell meat products from livestock raised by producers, contingent upon compliance with federal law regarding the sale of uninspected meat. The bill also includes conforming amendments to clarify the definitions of "commercial food establishment" and the roles of producers, designated agents, and third-party sellers in food transactions.
Additionally, the bill mandates that the Department of Agriculture create necessary rules for implementation and sets an effective date of July 1, 2027, for most provisions, while allowing immediate effectiveness for sections related to rulemaking. The amendments aim to enhance the market for homemade foods while ensuring consumer awareness and compliance with existing regulations.
