relative to the definition of potentially hazardous food.

This bill modifies the legal definition of potentially hazardous food in New Hampshire by removing "processed acidified" foods from the category. Currently, producers of these foods must hold a commercial food license and operate in a commercial kitchen, but the change allows them to potentially produce these items as homestead food operations without that specific licensure. The primary effect is to reduce regulatory requirements for certain small-scale food producers, which may lower state licensing fees while potentially increasing the need for health inspections if foodborne illnesses occur. This adjustment impacts the Department of Health and Human Services, which estimates a slight decrease in annual revenue of approximately $10,000 due to fewer commercial licenses issued.
