smithhemb Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 Is anybody following this? It's a bill in the DC Council to allow home-cooked foods to be sold at farmers markets or public events, subject to labeling requirements, complaint-driven inspections, and an annual revenue cap of $25,000. I'm not in the industry, but I was wondering what those who are think about this proposal. I wonder how it'll affect a project like Union Kitchen, but I don't know anything about the economics of start-ups. Text of the legislation is here: http://dcclims1.dccouncil.us/images/00001/20131003115456.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam23 Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 Sort of following it. I spoke to CM Cheh about it back in August and recommended two changes based on discussions with a leading food safety expert. I'm glad to see she incorporated them - mainly requiring labels to have all ingredients and not mandating nutrition labeling which would be costly for producers and bring them into USDA/FDA jurisdiction.
