Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

5 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 1 costs, 3 mixed.

Easier local food sales up to $250K

Beginning November 1, 2026, qualifying local food businesses do not need state health or agriculture licenses if they follow this law. A “local food establishment” can be at a home or another site, but not a restaurant. You qualify if your prepared‑food sales at all locations stay under $250,000 per year. Non‑perishable items can be sold in person or online by you, your agent, or a third‑party vendor, and delivered by you, your agent, vendors, or common carriers. Alcohol, unpasteurized milk, and cannabis products are not covered.

No meat or seafood in local foods

Beginning November 1, 2026, items sold under this law cannot contain seafood, meat, meat by‑products, or meat food products as defined by law. Products with those ingredients do not qualify for the act’s exemptions.

Clear labels and signs for local foods

Beginning November 1, 2026, each local food product must have a clear label. It must show the producer’s name and phone, where it was made, a product description, all ingredients in order, and any of the eight major allergens. The label must include a legible statement that the product was made in a facility exempt from government licensing and inspection, in at least 10‑point font. When a third‑party vendor displays these items, the vendor must post a visible sign that says: “This product was produced in a facility that is exempt from government licensing and inspection. This product may contain allergens.”

Complaint checks and $300 fines for producers

Beginning November 1, 2026, the agriculture department can act on consumer complaints. It can ask for your proof of required food‑safety training, check your gross sales, and review your labels and deliveries. Violations can bring fines up to $300 per violation. Counties may set operating rules for local food businesses, but they cannot conflict with this law or block sales that follow it.

Stricter rules for perishable local foods

Beginning November 1, 2026, perishable foods that need time or temperature control must be sold and delivered only by the producer straight to the customer. Anyone who makes these foods must first pass food‑safety training that is online and no longer than 8 hours. ODAFF posts the list of approved courses online.
