From the article:
Currently, it is technically illegal for South Carolina residents to prepare baked goods in their homes for sale.* Debra's husband, Daniel recently ran for the City Council at large seat in November.
South Carolina does not currently have a Cottage Food Law, but Liberty resident Debra Graybeal is working diligently to ensure one is established.
Preparation and production of food items is tightly regulated by DHEC (the Department of Health and Environmental Control). Any establishment where food is prepared and sold to the public is regulated by DHEC to safeguard consumers.
Restaurants, delicatessens and bakeries all have inspection grades displayed in plain sight so the public knows that the establishment has been inspected by DHEC and has passed the inspection.
A Cottage Food Law is a legal tool employed by a state government to establish a legal arrangement for low-risk food production and preparation to take place in a home residence and then sold to the public.
In other words, if South Carolina establishes a Cottage Food Law, state residents will be allowed to legally prepare certain types of food in their homes and sell them to anyone interested in buying.
