“Cottage Food” law becomes effective September 1st

Admin Note: EverythingNac welcomes the people who this affects to sell their products here on our Marketplace page for free.
Click here to submit to the Marketplace Page

     Recent legislation in Austin will soon affect Nacogdoches citizens. SB 81, also known as the “Cottage Food” Law will become effective September 1st. The bill allows individuals to prepare non-potentially hazardous foods such as baked goods, canned jams, jellies, and dry spices, in their homes and re-sale the products. Foods must be sold from the individuals’ home, directly to a consumer. Sales will not be allowed at Farmer’s Markets, or wholesale or resale to restaurants, grocery stores, and coffee shops or online. Cottage Food producers must also restrict their gross income from sales to less than $50,000 per year. Cottage Food producers will also be required by the state to properly label the products, including containing a statement that the food was not prepared in a licensed kitchen.

     “It is very important that anyone interested in becoming a Cottage Food producer, thoroughly research the topic to ensure that they will be in compliance,” said Tommy Wheeler, Environmental Health Manager for the City of Nacogdoches. The City of Nacogdoches Health Department, while not allowed to do on site inspections of any Cottage Food producer, will be maintaining a record of complaints from citizens received on any Cottage. “We will continue to ensure the safety of our citizens by making sure that Cottage Food producers follow all applicable laws pertaining to SB 21,” said Wheeler.

     For more information or questions about SB 21 or the Cottage Food Law residents may call the City of Nacogdoches inspections department at 936-559-2551 or visit: http://www.texascottagefoodlaw.com/TheLaw.aspx

Feye named SFA student regent

    Sarah Feye of The Woodlands has been appointed by Gov. Rick Perry to serve as student regent for StephenF.AustinStateUniversity during the 2011-12 academic year.

Sarah Feye

    Feye is pursuing a bachelor’s degree in food, nutrition and dietetics at SFA. She previously served as vice president of the Student Government Association; president of the Student Dietetic Association; student instructor for SFA 101 – freshman seminar; and vice president of Phi Upsilon Omicron, an honor society for students majoring in human sciences.

    “I have been involved in a lot of student leadership activities at SFA, including a wonderful experience serving in the Student Government Association,” said Feye, a 2008 graduate of The Woodlands High School. “I was really looking for that next step in my service to the SFA student body, and I was extremely thrilled to learn I had been chosen as student regent.”

    Feye recently traveled to Austin to receive training for her new role as student regent. Her first official duty will be attending the quarterly meeting of the SFA Board of Regents July 18-19.

    “I believe student regents hold a very valuable place on the board because they are the only ones who can actually share the point of view of SFA students,” she said. “Anywhere student opinion is needed, I plan to speak up and offer that perspective, so that it can be considered when important decisions are made.”
