I just recently found out about a law passed in 2010 which allows the production of certain food products in your home/unlicensed kitchen. Basically, it allows you to make and sell some foods like bread and cookies in your home kitchen. You can sell (up to $15,000 per year) them at farmers markets and your home as long as they are labeled correctly. I think this is a great step forward in giving people the ability to start their own small business to make some extra cash on the side.
Here is a simple summary: http://www.michigan.gov/documents/mda/MDA-CFFAQ-MASTER_327558_7.pdf
I just wish ice cream production was allowed. Unfortunately it is considered a hazardous food because it is a dairy product :(. Ice cream is one of the least hazardous foods I can imagine. A. Mold wont grow on it. B. If it gets to a dangerous temperature the product is ruined and can't be sold anyways.
Anyways, I thought you guys might be interested in this.
