SB 572: Permitting the Sale of Cottage Foods

Passage; April, 23, 2019;  Journal Page 1204 ; 31 Yeas, 0 Nays.

YCT Yea. SB 572, also known as the Texas Cottage Food Law, defines what can be considered as cottage food, and states the requirements for a food production to be considered “cottage food production.” YCT supports SB 572 because it expands individual freedom by allowing Texans to sell certain foods made in home kitchens without having to get a food manufacturers' license, use a commercial kitchen, or be subject to inspections by the state or local health departments.
