The way your locally grown and locally made food is inspected could soon change.
The food safety and sanitation program under the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation is proposing new regulations of so-called “low-risk” food.
The proposal suggests that foods like locally made pastries, dried herbs and spices be allowed to be sold directly to consumers from growers.
But the proposal comes with a restriction: the total sale of those low-risk foods must be less than $25,000 per year.
