Our fall network gathering included presentations by the Northwest Transition to Organic Partnership Program and Cooperative Extension.

ADEC is proposing a change in the Alaska Food Code regulations to come in line with the Homemade Food laws that were passed last year with HB251. We asked ADEC a few questions to learn more.

Now referred to as “The Homemade Food Rule”, HB251 revises the Alaska Food Drug and Cosmetic Act Statute to create an exemption from permitting and inspection requirements for producers of homemade food products, with no cap on sales. We dive into these changes, highlight three community perspectives on the new law, and share resources.
