Various food matters.

Summary

The bill would set up an Indiana Food Protection Panel to hear appeals of enforcement actions taken by local health officers and require the state health department to give local departments consistent guidelines and a single point of contact. It also bars local health departments from imposing standards higher than the state’s minimum sanitary rules, lets individual farmers‑market vendors sell certain meat products, and requires specific labeling for insect‑protein and cultivated‑meat foods. Additional sections stop local governments from banning home vegetable gardens and let them adopt the same standards that apply to other properties.
