It also addresses the governor’s concerns about the ability of the state health department to have oversight, giving the agency the power to revoke a license or to fine someone who breaks the rules included in a food handler’s permit. The governor told Capitol Media Services she isn’t seeking to allow health officials to make unannounced inspections. Whether food inspectors examine kitchens before they are allowed to be used is an issue that must be resolved, the newspaper reported. HB 2042 has other provisions limiting what can be made in home kitchens and how they can be marketed. For example, any product that contains dairy or meat must be sold and delivered in person. And if the product is potentially hazardous or requires time or temperature controls, it must be maintained at those temperatures during delivery, cannot be transported more than once and cannot be transported for more than two hours. The bill bans infusing cannabis oil into tamales and gives health officials the power to investigate a food-borne illness.
Potentially hazardous foods:
• Meat, poultry, fish • Shellfish, crustaceans • Eggs • Milk, dairy products • Baked potatoes • Heat-treated plant food (cooked rice, beans, vegetables) • Certain synthetic ingredients • Mushrooms, raw sprouts, cut melons, cut tomatoes, cut leafy greens • Tofu, soy protein foods • Untreated garlic, oil mixtures • Custards, puddings, cakes with custard fillings, meringues, cheesecakes, pumpkin, cream or custard pies, other desserts containing ingredients of animal origin
