The amendment to Bill SB 2386 introduces new restrictions on cottage food transactions in North Dakota. It clarifies that the sale of poultry products is only allowed if the seller raises and slaughters the birds themselves, limiting the number to one thousand per year, and prohibits any sales involving interstate commerce. Additionally, it highlights that uninspected meat products cannot be sold, ensuring food safety for consumers. This change is significant as it aims to enhance transparency and safety in local food sales while supporting small-scale food producers.
