Food: processors; maple syrup and honey producers; designate as limited food processors. Amends sec. 4105 of 2000 PA 92 (MCL 289.4105).

SB 882 amends Michigan's Food Law to officially designate maple syrup and honey producers as "limited food processors." This change allows these producers to operate under existing exemptions for small-scale food operations without needing a separate food establishment license, provided their gross sales remain at or below $15,001. The bill clarifies that producers selling their own unprocessed products can run retail outlets and processing facilities under the same regulatory umbrella as cottage food producers, requiring labels similar to those used for cottage goods. By updating the statute, the legislation ensures that small-scale honey and maple syrup makers are formally recognized within the current framework for limited food processing.
