Public Health - Cottage Food Businesses and Home Bakeries

Summary

The bill changes Maryland’s cottage‑food rules so that non‑potentially hazardous foods, including many baked items, are covered. Home bakeries that make and sell these products from a residential kitchen and earn under $50,000 a year would no longer need a Department of Health license if they follow labeling and storage requirements. It also extends existing cottage‑food regulations to these home bakeries.
