This bill would expand the definition of "home-based processor" under Kentucky's Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act to include people who produce whole or ground roasted coffee beans at home. This change could make it easier for home-based coffee roasters to operate legally under existing rules that apply to other home food producers. Who it may affect: home-based food producers and small-scale coffee roasters.
