SACRAMANTO, Calif. /California Newswire/ — The Sustainable Economies Law Center (SELC), the Los Angeles Bread Bakers (LABB), and Proyecto Jardin are pleased to announce that Assemblyman Mike Gatto (D—Los Angeles) has introduced the California Homemade Food Act, AB 1616, in the California State Assembly.
The Act would allow for the sale of certain homemade, non-potentially hazardous foods, and it would change California law to mirror recent changes in the laws of 31 other states (and counting). Changes in California’s laws are needed because outdated statutes and local ordinances strictly prohibit everyone from home-based, artisanal bread bakers to small-scale, dried-fruit vendors from selling their products to their communities.
