SB 1235, Knight. Prepackaged food.
Existing law, the California Retail Food Code, establishes uniform health and sanitation standards for retail food facilities, as defined. Existing law exempts from the definition of food facility a premises set aside by a beer manufacturer for the purposes of beer tasting, if no other beverage except for beer and prepackaged nonpotentially hazardous beverages is offered for sale for onsite consumption and no food, except crackers or pretzels, is served. Existing law defines “potentially hazardous food” and “prepackaged food” for these purposes. Existing law provides that local health agencies are primarily responsible for enforcing these provisions. A person who violates any provision of the code is guilty of a misdemeanor, except as otherwise provided.
This bill would additionally exclude from the definition of food facility a premises set aside by a beer manufacturer for the purposes of beer tasting that offers for onsite consumption prepackaged food that is not potentially hazardous food. The bill would limit the food display area in these facilities to 25 square feet and would make these facilities subject to specified provisions of the retail food code. By expanding the definition of a crime, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program.
This bill would incorporate additional changes to Section 113789 of the Health and Safety Code, proposed by SB 170 and AB 1990, that would become operative only if this bill and either or both of those bills are chaptered and become effective January 1, 2015, and this bill is chaptered last.
The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.
This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
The people of the State of California do enact as follows:
