A 3166 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Concerns baked goods sold at farm markets.

This bill amends New Jersey law to allow producers of baked goods (like cakes, cookies, pastries, and pies, excluding bread) to sell their items at farm markets in wrapped or covered containers for health reasons, without needing to weigh them. Currently, most food sold at farm markets must be sold by weight or count, but this exception specifically covers baked goods in sealed containers. The change clarifies that producers do not violate the weight-measurement rule when selling wrapped baked goods directly to customers at farm markets. It applies only to fresh, made-on-site baked items and does not affect other food sales or require new weighing standards.
