WI AB748

Expands food processing plant license exemptions to include "nonpotentially hazardous foods" (shelf-stable items like baked goods that don't require temperature control) prepared and sold from home, in addition to the existing exemption for home-canned pickled fruits and vegetables with pH of 4.6 or lower

Raises the annual gross sales cap from $5,000 to $40,000 for home producers selling exempt food products, and creates two tiers: "small producers" (under $10,000) and "cottage food producers" ($10,000-$40,000)

Requires all home producers to register with DATCP, obtain a registration number, maintain liability insurance, and label products with producer name, registration number, preparation date, ingredient list (including major allergens), and statement that product was made in a private home

Cottage food producers ($10,000-$40,000 in sales) must have at least one household member with a DATCP food protection practices certificate involved in food preparation, and those making nonpotentially hazardous foods must pass a home inspection

Permits sales directly to consumers at the producer's home, by delivery, at farmers' markets, or at community/social events in Wisconsin
