The St. Clair County Extension Office Offers a Cottage Food Law Food Safety Course. The new law, which went into effect June 1, allows anyone to sell non-hazardous foods made in the home directly to consumers. Nonhazardous foods specified by the new law include cakes, cookies, dried herbs, jams and jellies. At Auburn University, Dr. Jean Weese, a food safety specialist who heads the Alabama Cooperative Extension Systems food safety team, says that while these foods are not subject to inspection by the local public health department, the folks preparing these foods are required to attend a food safety course approved by the State Health Department. A Cottage Food Law Food Safety Course will be offered on October 6th from 4-6 p.m. at the St. Clair County Extension office in Pell City, Cost is $25 per person. You may register online at aces.edu/foodsafety If you are interested in attending and would like more information, please contact Regional Extension Agent, Angela Treadaway, at the St. Clair County Extension office at (205) 338-9416.
