Craft Foods Operations

What is a craft food operation?

In 2015, the Nevada Legislature passed and the governor signed the craft food bill, also known as the "pickle bill" (SB441), allowing certain foods to be prepared and sold from a person’s home.

A craft food operation, as allowed by SB441, refers to a person who manufactures or prepares acidified foods in his or her private home or (if allowed by the health district) in the kitchen of a fraternity or social clubhouse, a school or religious, charitable or other nonprofit. Gross sales may not exceed more than $35,000 per calendar year.
