Safe Food Sampling Law

MFMA's Safe Food Sampling bill was signed into law (Minnesota Statute 28A.151) by Governor Dayton on April 10, 2014!

This law allows for safe food sampling at farmers' markets for all vendors, and food demonstrations -- without any added licenses or fees, year-round.

The MFMA worked with many partners, including the MN Dept. of Ag and the MN Dept. of Health to accomplish this. We are very appreciative for their advice and support.

MFMA provides services, programs, and leadership that support and promote farmers' markets across Minnesota.
