There is already such a monstrous amount of regulation regards food product that it makes it difficult if not impossible for anyone but big companies to bring anything to market.
The only way to bypass/avoid some of the BS is to sell at point of harvest (farm stand type thing). Then you only have to comply with local health dept standards and not the FDA. So do I understand correctly than the Fed now intends to stick its grubby little hand down to the local level that I just described? Because a person/farmer that for instance grows fruit and sells their own jam and ice cream would fall under the loose terminology of storage of food and food ingredients.
When I talked to my lawyer sister about selling my plum soda-pop syrup she said you don’t even want to think about it, it is such a nightmare just the labeling aspect.

yep, sounds like just one more step in the coup to full socialism. First the monetary system, now Agriculture. You will need a permit to grow a tomato, but you can’t get a permit unless you are on “the list”
