December 2004 Fresh produce is an important addition to a healthy diet, however, some produce, including sprouts, the germinating form of seeds and beans, have been implicated in foodborne illness. In July 1999, the U.S Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued an advisory to the public, "Consumers Advised of Risks Associated with Raw Sprouts" (Ref. 4) based on the continued reports of illness from consuming raw sprouts. In October 1999, FDA released two guidance documents to provide recommendations to seed suppliers and sprout producers to reduce microbial food safety hazards common to the production of sprouts. Sprouts may include alfalfa, clover, sunflower, broccoli, mustard, radish, garlic, dill and pumpkin as well as mung, kidney, pinto, navy, soy beans and wheat berries (wheat grass).

Frequently Asked Questions - cottagefoods.org. Laws What is a cottage food law?
The short answer: It is a law that allows you to make certain types of food from your home kitchen, and then legally sell them at certain venues.

Almost all states adopted that ruling to some degree, and since then, most have had a firm stance prohibiting the sale of homemade foods. In the late 90′s and early 2000′s, a select few states adopted laws to override that prohibition, allowing certain kinds of home food products to be sold — these were often known as “baker laws” or “pickle bills”.
