The Oklahoma Home Bakery Act of 2013 made it legal to prepare baked goods in an uninspected home kitchen and sell the goods from the homeowner’s premises. This act was amended in 2017 to allow home-baked items to be sold off-premises in selected locations. Because this act affects home bakers around the state, Selling Home Bakery Items – What You Need to Know assists home bakers in understanding the regulations. The training covers good manufacturing practices, allergens, labeling, cross-contamination and food safety. The training also will help in recordkeeping and calculations of income to determine if the baker is capable of expanding to a brick-and-mortar facility.
