Homemade food for sale in California

California enacted a law that legalized selling food that is made at home that went into effect on January 1st, 2014.  From a Forbesarticle:

“Under the California Homemade Food Act, local governments cannot ban cottage food businesses based in private homes.  Instead, home-based entrepreneurs can sell their goods after passing a ‘food processor course’ (which can be done online), properly labeling their goods and practicing common-sense sanitation when cooking and baking.”
