The CA Cottage Food Law (AB1616) was specifically established to promote the creation of small businesses and the growth of home-based businesses that contribute to the health, prosperity, and well being of Californians.
The San Diego County Dept. of Environmental Health Food & Housing Department wants to raise fees for new CFO applications by more than 50% for A and B permits. We believe the fees can be kept lower through improving the application review process and improving efficiency at DEH-FHD. These high fees will have a chilling effect on new businesses trying to get started. Click to see our letter to County Supervisors Feb 27 2017
