Texas Food Freedom Act raises annual sales cap and expands list of food that can be sold.

The article from KTRE discusses the anticipation among East Texas cottage food vendors regarding the new Texas Cottage Food Law set to take effect on September 1, 2025. The law will expand the types of foods that can be sold under the cottage food label, including perishable items like tamales and certain baked goods with cheese, which were previously prohibited. This change is expected to benefit vendors like Maria Sanchez, who runs a small tamale business from her home, by allowing her to legally sell her products at farmers' markets and online. The new law also increases the annual gross sales limit from $50,000 to $75,000, providing cottage food operators with more opportunities to grow their businesses. Local vendors and food safety experts have expressed optimism about the potential economic boost and the increased variety of homemade foods available to consumers, while emphasizing the importance of adhering to the new regulations to ensure food safety.
