IL SB0457

Amends the Food Handling Regulation Enforcement Act to expand the definition of foods that cottage food operations may produce and sell, including canned acidified fruits and vegetables, and condiments like mustard and ketchup in Mason-style jars.

Prohibits cottage food operations from selling kombucha, sprouts, cut leafy greens (unless dehydrated, acidified, or blanched and frozen), and certain other potentially hazardous foods without proper licensing.

Requires cottage food operators selling canned tomato products to follow tested USDA or cooperative extension recipes, or submit their recipes to a commercial laboratory at their own expense to verify adequate acidification.

Establishes labeling requirements including the operation's name and address, all ingredients, a disclaimer that products were made in a home kitchen not subject to health inspection, processing date, and allergen information.

Allows State-certified local public health departments to regulate cottage food operations with registration fees up to $25, require inspection access in case of complaints or foodborne illness outbreaks, and require laboratory testing of certain products.
