H.140/S.69 An Act to Promote Economic Opportunities for Cottage Food Entrepreneurs
Some municipal Departments of Health require permits, including a fee, and inspections of the kitchens, while others do not. There is no consistency from town to town and, therefore, no equity in the current system. This bill would allow all farmers and home cooks throughout Massachusetts to sell low-risk, non-temperature foods without requiring a health department permit.
