HB 2440 -- Sale of Kosher Food

Sponsor:  Zimmerman

This bill requires all food or food products sold or offered for
sale as kosher or kosher for Passover which are packaged in a
sealed container to have a label or symbol affixed to it by the
manufacturer, packer, or certifier representing the person,
agency, or entity that certified the product.  If the kosher food
or food products are not sold in a sealed container, the seller
must display a sign that is clearly readable and contains a
description of each kosher food item for sale, the identity of
the kosher food certifier, the effective time period of the
kosher certification which cannot exceed 12 months, the
designation of all products containing dairy ingredients, and
certification that all the equipment used in the preparation,
storing, and serving of the food items is kosher or kosher for
Passover.  If the seller also has nonkosher certified meat or
poultry for sale, he or she must display a sign that is clearly
readable and identifies which products are certified as kosher.
Any person who violates these provisions will be guilty of a
class B misdemeanor.
