Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Sanitary Food Preparation Act. Provides that if a meal kit or ready-to-eat meal distribution facility is engaged in the collection, storage, packaging, or distribution of meal kits direct to consumers, then the local health department where a food distribution facility is located shall have the power to enforce and observe specified rules, orders, and laws. Provides that a local health department may establish and assess a fee for any inspection it conducts at meal kit and ready-to-eat meal distribution facilities if the fee for the inspection is not included in the fee for the operating license or permit. Requires meal kit and ready-to-eat meal distribution facilities to pay inspection fees within 30 days from the date of the inspection to the local health department that conducted the inspection, with non-compliance consequences and late fees. Lists requirements for temperature control, food safety inspections, food labeling requirements, delivery, and transparency. Allows the Department of Public Health to adopt rules. Defines terms.
Senate Floor Amendment No. 1
In provisions regarding requirements for meal kit and ready-to-eat meal distribution facilities, provides that all providers must maintain temperature logs for meal kits or ready-to-eat meals in transit while the product is directly in the providers' care and custody, that meal kits and ready-to-eat meals shall be delivered within 72 hours from the date of shipping (rather than 48 hours of preparation), and that meal kit and ready-to-eat meal providers shall publish on their websites or consumer-facing platforms a link to the publicly available license and inspection findings issued by the registering local health department.
