HB 144 (Food Freedom Act)

Libertas Institute supports this bill.

Food regulations were designed, and are properly intended, for cases in which food is sold to consumers who are unaware of the food's source or safety. This is not the case in direct-from-farm sales to an informed consumer, and therefore these costly regulations should not be applied to such situations.

Libertas Institute supports this bill, having called for this exemption from law in the publication of our Public Policy Brief on the subject. A "buyer beware" approach should be a legal option for consumers and farmers who want to directly exchange food.
