Are you a Texas cottage food producer who’s been harassed by your local health department and told that you have to pay for a permit from them?
The new law, SB 541, puts a clear, unambiguous stop to this! FARFA and Homemade Texas have published a joint open letter to all the local health departments in Texas about the new law. If a health department staffer knowingly violates the law by requiring a cottage food operator to get a permit after September 1, 2025, the city or county is required to fire them! So, download a copy of the letter to share with your local health department to put them on notice.
