Below are several notices about the changes and a link to a UTube webinar to learn more about the requirements of the new home-based vendor law.  \nTwo major changes under the new law include 1) how and where products can be sold and 2) the addition of requirements for food handler training.  \nThe biggest change to how and where products can be sold is: All HBV products can only be shipped within Indiana and are not allowed to be shipped across state lines.  \nThere are three categories of honey producer/sellers:  \n1. a wholesale food establishment (WFE) operated under 410 I AC 7-21 and IC 16-42-5  \n2. a retail food establishment (RFE) operated under 410 I AC 7-24 and IC 16-42-5; and  \n3. a vendor operating under IC 16-42-5-29 (Home Based Vendor “HBV”) . -most of us fall under the HBV category  \nPer the new law effective July 1, 2022, all home-based vendors will be required to obtain a food handler certificate. Currently, there are two options: attend a half-day food handler course and take the ServSafe assessment through a Purdue extension office priced at $40 price includes a food handler guide, or attend the online ServSafe Food handler course which includes the assessment for $15. Once you pass the test there is no further access to the food handler course. I did find a discount code that brings the online price down to $12 with discount code employee20 I am not sure how long the discount code will stay active.  \nAt the beginning of the course it states it should take approximately 2 hours to complete the course modules. It does not allow you to fast forward. It does allow you to review previous modules, pause, and resume without issue. I found the online course to be one of the better online courses I have taken. There is a 50 question assessment at the end of the course. I found most of the questions had obvious answers. The ServSafe Food Handler Certificate is valid for 3 years.  \nOnline Food Handler ServSafe link:  \n[https://www.servsafe.com/ServSafe-Food-Handler](https://www.servsafe.com/ServSafe-Food-Handler)  \nNew Law for Home-Based Vendors  \nIf you sell food to an end consumer in the state of Indiana, you are either established as a Retail Food Establishment or a Home-Based Vendor. Most individuals who sell goods at farmer’s markets or roadside stands are operating under home-based vendors laws. Indiana recently passed a new law ( HB 1149 ) which includes changes that will impact all persons operating as a home-based vendor. This article will help you understand who qualifies as a home-based vendor, which foods home-based vendors are allowed to sell and what has changed in the new law.  \nWho is a home-based vendor?  \nPursuant to newly enacted (effective 7/1/22) code: IC 16-42-5.3 , “A home based vendor shall prepare and sell only a food product that is:  \n􀁸 made, grown, or raised by an individual at the individual's primary residence, including any permanent structure that is on the same property as the residence;  \n􀁸 not a potentially hazardous food product;  \n􀁸 prepared using proper sanitary procedures;  \n􀁸 not resold; (e.g. you must sell to the end user not someone who intends to resell; if you did this you must be licensed as a wholesaler) .  \nWhat products may a home-based vendor sell?  \nHome-based vendors are allowed to sell non-potentially hazardous foods. Non-potentially hazardous foods are those that do not require refrigeration for food safety. This list of allowable foods has not changed and includes:  \n􀁸 Baked items  \n􀁸 Candy and confections  \n􀁸 Produce, whole and uncut  \n􀁸 Tree nuts, legumes  \n􀁸 Pickles processed in a traditional method (e.g. fermentation)  \n􀁸 Honey, molasses, sorghum, maple syrup  \n􀁸 Mushrooms grown as a product of agriculture (wild mushrooms should be certified)  \n􀁸 Traditional jams, jellies and preserves made from high-acid fruits and using full sugar recipes (This is the only home-canned food allowed. )  \nEx","cbCaisVOVBLWVPpk","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaisVOVBLWVPpk","pdf",534192,"English","# New law overview\n## Two major changes: selling/shipping and food handler training\n# Shipping limits for HBV products\n## No out-of-state shipping\n# HBV categories for honey producer/sellers\n## WFE, RFE, and HBV\n# Food handler certificate requirement\n## Effective date and valid period\n## Training options and course/assessment details\n# Who qualifies as a home-based vendor\n## Core legal conditions\n# What products HBV may sell\n## Allowable non-potentially hazardous foods\n## Exceptions and egg/poultry/rabbit rules\n# What changed under the new law\n## Updated ways to sell and deliver in Indiana\n## ANSI-accredited certificate requirement","[{\"question\":\"What are the two biggest changes under Indiana’s new home-based vendor law?\",\"answer\":\"The law changes how and where HBV products can be sold and delivered, and it adds requirements for food handler training (a required certificate).\"},{\"question\":\"Where can home-based vendor (HBV) products be shipped under the new law?\",\"answer\":\"HBV products can only be shipped within Indiana and are not allowed to be shipped across state lines.\"},{\"question\":\"What food handler certificate is required and how long is it valid?\",\"answer\":\"Home-based vendors must obtain an ANSI-accredited food handler certificate; ServSafe Food Handler training fulfills the requirement, and the certificate is valid for three years.\"}]","Home-Based Vendors - More Information | PDF",1790921787,18]
