AN ACT RELATING TO FOOD AND DRUGS -- SANITATION IN FOOD ESTABLISHMENTS

Summary

The bill lets Rhode Island farms make and sell items like jams, pies, breads, maple syrup, candies, dried herbs, pickles and relish at farmers’ markets and farm‑run stores, as long as the kitchen on the farm follows specific sanitation rules. Farmers must register the kitchen, keep a compliance affidavit, label products, and cannot count this income toward farm‑tax exemptions. The change expands the list of approved foods and sets clear health‑safety requirements.
