A new rule requiring permits for homemade foods sellers went into effect on Jan. 1, 2010 in New Mexico.
The permits are mandated by the state Environment Department and cost $100 to allow the sale of homemade goods including baked goods, tortillas, jams and jellies, dry mixes and candies.
To obtain a permit, home-based food processors must pay the fee, attend food safety training and allow the New Mexico Environment Department to inspect their kitchens. This new permit process was introduced to monitor the safety of goods sold at farmers markets, roadside stands, fairs and fiestas. Visit Home Based Processing
