FARM DIRECT, VALUE ADDED & THE BAKING BILL

WHAT IS POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS FOOD?
Potentially Hazardous Food is a term used by food safety
organizations to classify foods that require time-
temperature control to keep them safe for human
consumption. A PHF is a food that contains moisture, or
contains protein.
Any baked goods that require refrigeration are not
allowed which means that many cheese and/or fresh herb
breads are not allowed, and none may contain meat.

ARE YOU A TALENTED HOME BAKER?
Oregon’s new cottage food law (Senate Bill 320)
went into effect on January 1st, 2016. This
“home baking bill,” allows certain baked goods
to be prepared in home kitchens and directly
sold to the consumer (no sales to restaurants).
![Page 6: Vendor Boot Camp - WordPress.com · •No kombucha/kefir or SCOBYs: inability to control the alcohol content •No raw fruit juices (including cider): risks of E. coli. •Ingredients](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022060403/5f0ea47b7e708231d4403942/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
FARM DIRECT MARKETING LAW
Processor (value added food producer) must grow all of the principal
ingredients used in production of their products. From Strawberry
Jam to Salsa, all the primary ingredients (berries, tomatoes, onions,
peppers, garlic, etc.) must come from their farm. Exceptions are:
herbs, spices, salt, vinegar, pectin, lemon/lime juice, honey/sugar.
If you want to produce products that use purchased ingredients,
you must apply for an ODA license.
![Page 7: Vendor Boot Camp - WordPress.com · •No kombucha/kefir or SCOBYs: inability to control the alcohol content •No raw fruit juices (including cider): risks of E. coli. •Ingredients](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022060403/5f0ea47b7e708231d4403942/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
SALES LIMITATION
There is a $20,000 annual sales limitation under all of
the Farm Direct & Home Baking Laws, which includes
ALL products sold under the exemption. If you exceed
$20,000 for all products produced in your home kitchen,
you will be required to obtain an ODA license or use a
licensed co-packer.
(And if you make $20,000 you should be thrilled!!)

WHAT IS THE #1 GOAL OF ALL PRODUCERS?
The USDA and the ODA have policies and procedures
in place to ensure customer safety…
… and that is the #1 goal of all producers!
![Page 9: Vendor Boot Camp - WordPress.com · •No kombucha/kefir or SCOBYs: inability to control the alcohol content •No raw fruit juices (including cider): risks of E. coli. •Ingredients](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022060403/5f0ea47b7e708231d4403942/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
NOT ONLY IS CUSTOMER SAFETY OUR #1 GOAL, BEST PRACTICE AND LEGAL RESPONSIBILITIES ARE AS WELL.
So, why has the Oregon Department of Agriculture allowed food
producers to sell under such lenient guidelines?

* TO PROMOTE SMALL BUSINESSES
* TO ALLOW THEM TO TRY OUT A MARKET
Farmers can increase their product offering and extend the market season.
Home producers can meet growing consumer demand for local, farm-direct foods.

• Spices can be listed independently or as “spices” when added to a produce, UNLESS
the product itself is a spice blend (then they must be listed individually).
• “Vanilla extract” or “flavoring” may be used.

GOOD NEWS: AN EXCEPTION!
Home processed foods are exempt from needing
nutrition labeling!
![Page 19: Vendor Boot Camp - WordPress.com · •No kombucha/kefir or SCOBYs: inability to control the alcohol content •No raw fruit juices (including cider): risks of E. coli. •Ingredients](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022060403/5f0ea47b7e708231d4403942/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
BATCH TESTS & RECIPE SOURCES
• Accurate batch test records must be kept of foods that are acidified to
decrease the pH below 4.6 (such as pickles, salsa, chutneys): Finished
pH values must be recorded for each batch and pH meter (if used)
must be calibrated and records maintained. (This does not apply to lower-risk
products such as jams and jellies)
• Recipes must come from 1 of 3 available references:
• USDA Complete Guide to Home Canning
• So Easy to Preserve
• Pacific NW Extension Food Preservation

SALES RECORDS
• Records of products sold, including price, quantity and a
current rolling year to date total.
• Copies must be maintained and available to the ODA for up
to 3 years.
• Remember that $20,000 sales limit!
![Page 21: Vendor Boot Camp - WordPress.com · •No kombucha/kefir or SCOBYs: inability to control the alcohol content •No raw fruit juices (including cider): risks of E. coli. •Ingredients](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022060403/5f0ea47b7e708231d4403942/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
ACIDIFIED / LACTO-FERMENTED
• An acidic food is a bottled, packaged, or canned food that either has a
natural equilibrium pH of 4.6 or less, has been lacto-fermented to decrease
the equilibrium pH to 4.6 or below.
• Lacto-what? For example, the brine used in sauerkraut creates an
anaerobic, acidic environment. Anaerobic means that there is no oxygen
present in the environment.
• Concerned about botulism? Botulism is a toxin produced by a bacteria and
cannot survive in an acidic environment. The acids produced by
fermentation protect against the toxin, and help to make lacto-fermentation
one of the safest methods of food preservation.
