and inspection of food products
that are sold or produced in Florida.
2
The department works in cooperation with the United
States Department of Agriculture and the Food and Drug Administration to help ensure
compliance with both state and federal regulations.

.
Cottage Food Operations
A cottage food operation is a natural person or entity that produces or packages food that is not
potentially hazardous in the residence of the natural person or at the residence of a natural person
who has an ownership interest in the entity and sells such products in accordance with cottage

12
Section 500.80, F.S., does not exempt cottage food operations from any other state or federal tax
law, rule, regulation, or certificate.
13
Cottage Food Products
A cottage food product is any food that is not a potentially hazardous food defined by department
rule which is sold by a cottage food operation in accordance with s. 500.80, F.S.
14
The
department has not adopted a rule defining the term “potentially hazardous food,” but it has
adopted the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s 2017 Food Code (Food Code).
15
The Food Code defines the term “time/temperature controlled for safety food,” formerly referred
to as “potentially hazardous food,” as a “food that requires time/temperature control for safety
(TCS) to limit pathogenic microorganism growth or toxin formation.” The term includes:
Animal food that is raw or heat-treated;
Plant food that is heat-treated or consists of raw seed sprouts, cut melons, cut leafy greens,
cut tomatoes or mixtures of cut tomatoes that are not modified in a way so that they are
unable to support pathogenic microorganism growth or toxin formation; and
Garlic-in-oil mixtures that are not modified so that they are unable to support pathogenic
micro-organism growth or toxin formation.
16
The department has identified the following foods as not potentially hazardous and therefore
permitted to be produced by a cottage food operation:
Loaf breads, rolls, biscuits;
Cakes, pastries, and cookies;
Honey;
Jams, jellies, and preserves made from high acid-fruits only;
Fruit pies and dried fruits;
Dry herbs, seasonings, and mixtures;
Homemade pasta;
Cereals, trail mixes, and granola;
Coated or uncoated nuts;

Food (formerly “potentially hazardous food” (PHF))” Certain foods may be designated as “product assessment required” due
to the interaction of their water content and pH values after heat treatment or packaging to control vegetative cells and spores.
Such foods are considered TCS food until further study proves otherwise. BILL: CS/SB 1158 Page 5
Vinegar and flavored vinegars;
Popcorn and popcorn balls; and
Nut butters, including almond, peanut, cashew, etc.
17
Cottage Food Operations Investigations and Complaints
The department may only investigate a cottage food operation if it receives a complaint that a
cottage food operation has violated an applicable provision of state food products law
18
or rule
adopted under such law.
19
Upon a complaint, an officer or employee of the department may enter
and inspect the cottage food operation’s premises to determine compliance with applicable state
law and departmental rules. A cottage food operation’s refusal to permit an authorized officer or
employee to enter and inspect the premises is grounds for administrative disciplinary action
under s. 500.121, F.S.
20
The cottage food operation provisions in s. 500.80, F.S., do not apply to any person operating
under a food permit issued pursuant to s. 500.12, F.S.
21
Preemption
The regulation of cottage food operations is preempted to the state.
22
A local law, ordinance, or
regulation may not prohibit a cottage food operation or regulate the preparation, processing,
storage, or sale of cottage food products by a cottage food operation; however, a cottage food
operation must comply with the conditions for the operation of a home-based business under
s. 559.955, F.S.
23
Home-Based Businesses
Section 559.955, F.S., preempts the regulation of home-based businesses to the state. Counties
and municipalities may not enact or enforce any ordinance, regulation, or policy, or take any
action to license or otherwise regulate a home-based business.
A home-based business may operate in an area zoned for residential use and may not be
prohibited, restricted, regulated, or licensed in a manner different from other businesses in a local
government's jurisdiction, except as provided in s. 559.955, F.S. However, home-based
businesses are subject to applicable business taxes under ch. 205, F.S., in the county and
municipality in which the home-based business is located.

24
Section 559.955(2), F.S. BILL: CS/SB 1158 Page 6
A business is considered a home-based business if it operates, in whole or in part, from a
residential property and meets the following criteria:
25
The activities of the home-based business are secondary to the property's use as a residential
dwelling.
The business employees who work at the residential dwelling also reside in the residential
dwelling, except that up to two employees or independent contractors who do not reside at
the residential dwelling may work at the business.
Parking related to the business activities of the home-based business complies with local
zoning requirements. The business may not generate a need for parking greater in volume
than a similar residence where no business is conducted. Local governments may regulate the
parking or storage of heavy equipment at the business which is visible from the street.
As viewed from the street, the residential property is consistent with the uses of the
residential areas surrounding the property. Any external modifications to a home-based
business must conform to the residential character and architectural aesthetics of the
neighborhood. The home-based business may not conduct retail transactions at a structure
other than the residential dwelling; however, incidental business uses and activities may be
conducted at the residential property.
All business activities comply with any relevant local or state regulations concerning signage
and equipment or processes that create noise, vibration, heat, smoke, dust, glare, fumes, or
noxious odors. However, such regulations on a business, absent signage, may not be more
stringent than those that apply to a residence where no business is conducted.
All business activities comply with any relevant local, state, and federal regulations
concerning the use, storage, or disposal of hazardous materials. However, such regulations on
a business may not be more stringent than those applicable to a residence where no business
is conducted.
Any adversely affected current or prospective home-based business owner may recover
reasonable attorney fees and costs incurred instituting or defending a legal action concerning the
validity of a local government's home-based business regulations.
26
The home-based business requirements of s. 559.955, F.S., do not supersede any current or
future declaration of condominium adopted pursuant to ch. 718, F.S., cooperative document
adopted pursuant to ch. 719, F.S., or declaration of covenants adopted pursuant to ch. 720, F.S.
Any local laws, ordinances, or regulations related to transient public lodging establishments that
are not otherwise preempted under ch. 509, F.S., are not affected by s. 559.955, F.S.
27
Public Food Service Establishments
The Division of Hotels and Restaurants within the Department of Business and Professional
Regulation licenses, inspects, and regulates public food service establishments in Florida under
ch. 509, F.S.
28
The term “public food service establishment” means:
25
Section 559.955(3), F.S.
26
Section 559.955(4), F.S.
27
See. 509.032(7), F.S., relating to the state preemption of vacation rental regulation and providing exceptions.
28
The Division of Hotels and Restaurants also licenses and regulates public lodging establishments, elevators, escalators, and
other vertical conveyance devices. See Department of Business and Professional Regulation, Division of Hotels and
Restaurants, http://www.myfloridalicense.com/DBPR/hotels-restaurants/ (last visited Feb. 3, 2022). BILL: CS/SB 1158 Page 7
any building, vehicle, place, or structure, or any room or division in a
building, vehicle, place, or structure where food is prepared, served, or
sold for immediate consumption on or in the vicinity of the premises;
called for or taken out by customers; or prepared prior to being delivered
to another location for consumption. The term includes a culinary
education program, as defined in s. 381.0072(2), which offers, prepares,
serves, or sells food to the general public, regardless of whether it is
inspected by another state agency for compliance with sanitation
standards.
29
Several food service places are exempted from the definition of public food service
establishment, such as certain schools and universities operated for students and faculty, and
places maintained by certain religious, fraternal, and civic organizations.
30
Establishments regulated under ch. 509, F.S., must be licensed and inspected by the Division of
Hotels and Restaurants, and are subject to sanitary standards, staff training and test requirements,
administrative rules, and immediate closure upon a finding that continued operation presents a
severe and immediate threat to the public health.
31
III. Effect of Proposed Changes:
The bill amends s. 500.80, F.S., to allow “home kitchen operations” to sell and offer for sale
home kitchen food products in a manner similar to cottage food operations.
The bill creates s. 500.03(1)(t), F.S., to define the term “home kitchen operation” to mean a
natural person or an entity that stores, handles, prepares, and packages food products at the
residence of the natural person or at the residence of a natural person who has an ownership
interest in the entity and sells such products in accordance with s. 500.80, F.S. Under the bill, a
home kitchen operation does not include:
A public food service establishment as defined in s. 509.013(5), F.S.;
A catering operation licensed under ch. 509, F.S.;
32
and
A cottage food operation, as defined in s. 500.03, F.S.
The bill creates s. 500.03(1)(s), F.S., to define the term “home kitchen product” to mean food
that is:
Stored, handled, prepared, and packaged by a home kitchen operation; and
Not raw milk, a product of raw milk, raw oysters, or raw shellfish.
The bill creates s. 500.82, F.S., to provide for the regulation of home kitchen operations.
A home kitchen operation is not required to have a food establishment permit, as required in
s. 500.12, F.S., if the home kitchen operation complies with this section and:
29
See s. 509.013(5) ,F.S.
30
Id.
31
See s. 509.035, F.S.
32
Chapter 509, F.S., does not provide for licensure of “catering operations.” However, a public food service establishment
licensed under ch. 509, F.S., may offer catering services. For example, s. 509.241, F.S., requires a public food service
establishments that offer catering services to display its license number on all advertising for catering services. BILL: CS/SB 1158 Page 8
Has annual gross sales of home kitchen food products that do not exceed $250,000;
Limits the preparation and service of home kitchen food products to no more than 10
individual means per calendar day or the approximate equivalent of meal components when
sold separately;
Prepares, cooks, and serves home kitchen food products on the same calendar day; and
Processes home kitchen food products in compliance with state and federal regulations and
s. 500.80, F.S., relating to cottage food operations.
A cottage food operation's annual gross sales include all sales of home kitchen food products at
any location, regardless of the types of products sold or the number of persons involved in the
operation. A cottage food operation must provide the department, upon request, with written
documentation verifying the operation's annual gross sales. These provisions are identical to the
requirements for cottage food operations in s. 500.80, F.S.
A home kitchen operation must allow the department to access the operation’s records within 24
hours of the department’s request.
In addition, a home kitchen operation may:
Sell, offer for sale, and accept payment for home kitchen food products over the Internet or in
person;
Deliver home kitchen food products in person directly to the consumer, to a specific venue,
or by a third party delivery service; and
Not sell, offer for sale, or deliver home kitchen food products to any wholesaler or retailer.
The bill requires all home kitchen operation owners and employees to successfully complete a
food safety certificate training program that complies with United States Food and Drug
Administration Food Safety Modernization Act.
33
The course, at a minimum, must include
information and training on cross-contamination, temperature control, and personal hygiene.
The bill requires home kitchen operations to:
Take steps to avoid any potential contamination to food, equipment, utensils, and unwrapped
single-service and single-use articles;
Prevent an individual from entering the food preparation area while food is being prepared if
the individual is known to be suffering from:
o Symptoms associated with acute gastrointestinal illness; or
o A communicable disease that is transmissible through food;
Ensure a hand washing station supplied with warm water, soap, and disposable hand towels
is conveniently located in food preparation, food dispensing, and “warewashing” areas;
Ensure that the kitchen sink is fully operational and has hot and cold water and a sanitizing
agent, and that dishes are sanitized between each use;
Ensure that ready-to-eat home kitchen food products are protected from contamination
during storage, preparation, handling, transport, and display;
Ensure that home kitchen food products are maintained at proper holding temperatures;
33
See United States Food and Drug Administration, Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA),
https://www.fda.gov/food/guidance-regulation-food-and-dietary-supplements/food-safety-modernization-act-fsma (last

Ensure that utensils and equipment used in the home kitchen operation:
o Retain their characteristic qualities under normal use conditions;
o Are properly sanitized after each use; and
o Are maintained in a sanitary manner between uses;
Ensure that kitchen equipment is cleaned and sanitized between uses;
Ensure that gases, odors, steam, heat, grease, vapors, and smoke are able to escape the
kitchen;
Ensure that temperature measuring devices or holding equipment for the time or temperature
control of food properly used for hot and cold holding of home kitchen food products during
storage, serving, and cooling; and
Ensure that home kitchen food product preparation and service is discontinued if there is a
disruption of potable water service.
The bill provides that home kitchen operations may only sell home kitchen food products which
are affixed with a label that contains the following information:
The name and address of the home kitchen operation;
The name of the home kitchen food product;
The ingredients of the home kitchen food product, in descending order of predominance by
weight;
The net weight or net volume of the home kitchen food product;
Allergen information as specified by federal labeling requirements;
Appropriate nutritional information as specified by federal labeling requirements if any
nutritional claim is made; and
A statement printed in at least 10-point type in a color that provides a clear contrast to the
background of the label and reads: "Made in a home kitchen operation that is not subject to
Florida's food safety regulations."
The labeling requirements for home kitchen food products are identical to those required for
cottage food products in s. 500.80(3), F.S.
In addition, the bill provides that s. 500.82, F.S., as created by this act, does not:
Exempt a home kitchen operation from any state or federal tax law, rule, regulation, or
certificate that applies to all home kitchen operations;
Prevent the department or a local health department from enforcing an order to cease and
desist operation of a home kitchen if the department or the local health department has a
valid reason to suspect that the home kitchen operation is the source of an adulterated food or
of an outbreak of illness caused by contaminated food; and
Apply to a person operating under a food establishment permit issued pursuant to s. 500.12,
F.S.
Under the bill, the regulation of home kitchen operations is preempted to the state. A local law,
ordinance, or regulation may not prohibit a home kitchen operation or regulate the preparation,
processing, storage, or sale of home kitchen food products by a home kitchen operation;
however, a home kitchen operation must comply with the conditions for the operation of a home-
based business under s. 559.955, F.S.
BILL: CS/SB 1158 Page 10
The bill requires the department to investigate any complaint which alleges that a home kitchen
operation has violated an applicable provision or rule.
Upon receipt of a complaint, the bill requires an authorized officer or employee of the
department to enter and inspect the premises of a home kitchen operation to determine
compliance with the Florida Food Safety Act
34
and department rules, as applicable. A home
kitchen operation's refusal to permit such entry to the premises or to conduct the inspection is
grounds for disciplinary action pursuant to s. 500.121, F.S.
Under the bill, the department may inspect a home kitchen operation for compliance with the
Florida Food Safety Act without an underlying compliant. Section 500.80, F.S., permits the
department to inspect a cottage food operation only if there is a complaint.
The bill amends s. 500.121, F.S., to apply the disciplinary procedures for violations of ch. 500,
F.S., to home kitchen operations.
35
Under the bill, the department may impose a Class II
administrative fine pursuant to s. 570.971, F.S.,
36
against a home kitchen operation that violates
ch. 500, F.S., the Florida Food Safety Act. For each violation in the Class II category, a fine not
to exceed $5,000 may be imposed.
