UT Extension offers July 27 webinar for small food manufacturers

UT Extension will host a free webinar at noon EDT, on July 27, 2022. This event will provide an overview of the new regulations and discuss some important considerations for existing and potential new food manufacturing businesses and farmers markets.
The Tennessee Food Freedom Act, effective July 1, 2022, made huge changes to the food manufacturing regulations, including the following:
• Greatly expanded the products that can be processed at home and sold within the state – changed non-potentially hazardous to non-TCS (time/temperature controlled for safety)
• Made third-party sales (i.e. through a retailer) of products allowable
• Changed labeling requirements for ALL foods covered under the act
• Eliminated restrictions on full-time employees
• Allowed custom order sales over the internet or phone
 Instructors will include Mark Morgan and Kyla Adkins from the Food Science Department and Megan Bruch Leffew from the Center for Profitable Agriculture.
