November 21, 2012 Home baked rules La Paz County, AZ- Under the Home Baked and Confectionery Goods law in Arizona, home bakers can make and sell many foods right out of their own kitchen. In 2011, the Arizona State Legislature changed the law, A.R.S. 36-136 to allow residents to produce non-potentially hazardous baked and confectionery products in their homes and to offer them for commercial sale within the state.

Pies are allowed as long as they are fruit fi lled and have no pudding or meringue ingredients. Baked or confectionery goods cannot have any potentially hazardous foods. What is Relexology?
