Oklahoma Homemade Food Freedom Act Preempts Local Limits

Enacted in 2021 and codified at 63 O.S. Section 1-1106.1, the Homemade Food Freedom Act lets Oklahoma residents produce and sell homemade food and homemade food products directly to informed end consumers. Sales may occur in person, online, by phone, or by mail within Oklahoma, with no annual sales cap for most products. Producers must label products with their name, address, and a disclaimer that the food was made in a home kitchen not subject to state inspection. Time/temperature controlled foods and meat products remain regulated. The Act expressly prohibits municipalities and counties from requiring licenses, permits, or inspections for covered transactions.

Selling unlabeled product or prohibited time/temperature foods may trigger Department of Agriculture or Health Department enforcement. Local permit demands on covered sales are unenforceable under state preemption.
