Summary

The California Retail Food Code (code) authorizes the governing body of a city, county, or city and county, by ordinance or resolution, to permit microenterprise home kitchen operations (MHKO) if certain conditions are met. Existing law requires an MHKO, as a restricted food service facility, to meet specified food safety standards, including, among others things, that the food is prepared, cooked, and served on the same day. Under existing law, the food preparation is limited to no more than 30 individual meals per day, or the approximate equivalent of meal components when sold separately, and no more than 60 individual meals, or the approximate equivalent of meal components when sold separately, per week. Existing law also requires an MHKO to have no more than $50,000 in verifiable gross annual sales, as adjusted annually for inflation. A violation of the code is a misdemeanor. This bill would require the food preparation to be limited to no more than 90 individual meals, as defined, or the approximate equivalent of meal components when sold separately, per week. The bill would also allow an MHKO to have no more than $100,000 in verifiable gross annual sales, adjusted for inflation. This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an urgency statute.
