MI HB6495

Clarifies definition of "cottage food operation" as an individual (not a person) who produces or packages cottage food products only in their primary domestic residence kitchen within Michigan.

Restructures definition of "cottage food product" to explicitly exclude potentially hazardous foods regulated under 21 CFR parts 113 and 114, including meat, poultry, milk products, beverages, and home-produced ice products.

Specifies that canned low-acid fruits, acidified vegetables, and other canned foods (except jams, jellies, and preserves per 21 CFR part 150) are not considered cottage food products.

Corrects grammatical usage throughout Section 1105 by replacing passive voice constructions (such as "has been") with present tense active voice ("is") in various subsections defining adulterated food.

Makes minor clarifying edits to punctuation and word choice (replacing "any" with "a," "contaminations" with "contaminants," "in which" with "where") for consistency and clarity in regulatory language.
