In the ongoing dance btw freedom vs safety. Yes, in Vermont you can sell food from your home kitchen, but with this label:
“‘Made in a home kitchen not inspected by the Vermont Department of Health.’ It must be printed in at least 10-point type and a color that contrasts with the background of the product’s label”

And this is a good thing, how?

So, Vermont will gladly take your money for business licenses, but when it comes to standing behind a product they allow to be sold in their state, they want to play the plausible deniability game, what in the actual fuck? 🤦🏻‍♂️

I don’t have a problem with the idea, it just seems half baked(pardon the pun). 

Ok, so you make a few products and you have convinced your local store to carry it, perfect. Now, what happens if someone gets sick from your product, do they go after you, the store they bought it from or both?

There has to be some semblance of responsibility from the agency that allowed you to sell the product in the first place. Telling people they have to have so and so writing on their product, doesn’t cut it. 

Putting aside where it was made, how do you guarantee what’s in it?

Too many ways for the seller and possibly the customers, to be negatively affected by such a loosely written amendment/law whatever.

let’s your neighbor make a few loaves of bread or some strawberry jam to sell in the country store in your very small town. seems like a nice way to thread the needle of state power tbh. and don’t buy the stuff if you don’t know the maker, right? dyor
