No. 720

An act to amend Section 110460 of the Health and Safety Code, relating to public health.

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST

SB 720, as introduced, Stone. Food safety: processed food registration.

Existing law, the Sherman Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Law, generally prohibits a person from manufacturing, packing, or holding processed food in this state unless the person has a valid registration from the State Department of Public Health. A person who violates this provision is subject to imprisonment for not more than one year in a county jail, a fine of not more than $1,000, or both the imprisonment and fine.

This bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes to that provision.
