A bill for an act providing for the sale and distribution of certain food, providing for fees, making penalties applicable, and including effective date provisions.

This bill allows food prepared at home to be sold at events held on farms and establishes specific rules for selling such items in regular stores. It defines a "farm-to-table event" as a gathering on agricultural land where at least half the meal consists of products from local farmers participating in the Choose Iowa program. The law also sets strict conditions for selling cottage foods in retail establishments, requiring them to be packaged, labeled, and kept separate from other foods, while explicitly permitting their sale at the newly defined farm events. Additionally, the bill mandates that the state licensing department create emergency rules within 180 days to implement these new requirements, which take effect immediately upon passage.
