What You Need to Know
Food Freedom Acts are U.S. state-level laws designed to reduce regulatory burdens on producers of homemade foods and provide consumers with direct access to these products. These laws are an expansion of the Cottage Food Laws, which permitted the sale of homemade food products. Organizations such as the American Legislative Exchange Council, (ALEC), National Environmental Health Association (NEHA), and The Institute for Justice (IJ) has helped push these laws forward.
