MO HB2277

Creates a "cottage food production operation" exemption allowing individuals to produce and sell baked goods, canned jams or jellies, and dried herbs or herb mixes from their home kitchen directly to consumers.

Limits exemption to operations with annual gross income of $50,000 or less from the sale of allowed foods.

Exempts cottage food operations from state and local health code laws and regulations, except those specific to this section and related department rules.

Requires department rules to mandate labeling with the operation's name and address plus a statement that food is not inspected by the department or local health department.

Prohibits cottage food operations from selling products through the internet; sales must be direct to consumers only.
