Oklahoma HB 3720 raises the homemade-food sales cap to $250,000 on November 1
Oklahoma HB 3720, approved May 5, 2026, raises the home local food establishment gross annual sales maximum from $75,000 to $250,000 and renames the Homemade Food Freedom Act the Local Food Freedom Act. It takes effect November 1, 2026.
Oklahoma already lets many homemade foods be sold without a health-department food-establishment license, as long as the business stays under a dollar ceiling. That ceiling has been Seventy-five Thousand Dollars ($75,000.00) in 2 O.S. §5-4.2. HB 3720 strikes that number and writes in Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000.00).

What the enrolled act actually changes
Section 2 amends the definition of a home local food establishment so the business qualifies if it has gross annual sales of prepared food of less than $250,000. The enrolled text says gross annual sales includes all sales of prepared food produced by the business at any location.
The same act updates the short title and defined terms (“local food establishment,” “local food product”). It does not, in the enrolled text, invent a new sales-cap number beyond that $250,000 substitution. Other sections keep labeling, allergen, delivery, and TCS-training rules in place and keep the $15 optional registration number.

When the new number applies
Section 7 of the enrolled act is one sentence: “This act shall become effective November 1, 2026.” Until that date, this post does not treat $250,000 as the current maximum.
What this post does not claim
- This is not legal advice. It restates the enrolled act and the official bill page.
- The official record is the enrolled PDF, not Crosodo.
- This post does not rewrite Oklahoma’s allowed-food or labeling lists. Those remain in 2 O.S. §5-4.3 as amended; read that section if you sell TCS foods or use a third-party vendor.
- Our older Oklahoma guide still shows $75,000 as the live cap. That is correct until November 1, 2026.

- Selling cottage food in Oklahoma — current-cap figure is still $75,000 until November 1
“Home Local food establishment” shall mean a business at any location, including on the premises of a residence but excluding restaurants, in which homemade local food products are created for sale or resale if the business has gross annual sales of prepared food of less than Seventy-five Thousand Dollars ($75,000.00) Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000.00).
That is the enrolled definition, strike-through and all. If the agency later posts implementing guidance, we will update this post from those sources.
