Food Freedom Laws

Advantaged

Wyoming's Food Freedom Act (the oldest and broadest in the nation) exempts homemade food produced, sold, and consumed in-state from licensure, permitting, inspection, packaging, and labeling. Direct producer-to-informed-consumer only. Uniquely broad on animal products: home-processed poultry (1,000-bird exemption), domestic rabbit, fish (except catfish), eggs, and — since 2023 — some dairy.

Revenue Cap
$250,000 / year

$250,000 gross + 250,000-unit statutory producer ceiling
