Wondering how food regs apply to home businesses. For example, if i wanted to sell my homemade family-recipe spaghetti sauce, what do I need to know about regs?
Every state is different. For instance, Michigan allows the sale of a batch of 200 items produced in a home kitchen; above that, it must be produced in a commercial kitchen. Julie says California inspects every single batch of her products. You might notice a home seller advertising “limited quantities” and that often means they are trying to stay under the limit and are not producing in a commercial kitchen.
