CO HB1190

Expands the Colorado Cottage Foods Act to allow home kitchen producers to sell foods that require refrigeration, removing the current restriction limiting sales to only non-potentially hazardous, shelf-stable items

Currently permitted cottage foods include pickled fruits and vegetables, spices, teas, dehydrated produce, nuts, seeds, honey, jams, jellies, preserves, fruit butter, flour, baked goods, candies, fruit empanadas, and tortillas

Removes the statutory definition of "nonpotentially hazardous" from the cottage foods section and eliminates that requirement from the producer definition

Officially titled the "Tamale Act"

Takes effect 90 days after final adjournment of the general assembly, unless subject to referendum petition
