New Jersey could become the last state in the nation to ban the sale of homemade baked goods.
A judge in Wisconsin — the only other state to have such a ban — will soon hear from attorneys on behalf of three women seeking to overturn Wisconsin’s law, according to the Journal Sentinel.
Both states currently ban the sale of home-baked cookies, muffins and other treats to the public citing health concerns and unfair competition against established businesses.
In New Jersey, home bakers need to either rent a commercial kitchen or install one in their homes, costing about $12,000. They are also subject to inspection by the state Department of Health and Senior Services.
Many home bakers in New Jersey have been lobbying to overturn the state’s ban for years. A few years ago, a measure passed New Jersey’s lower house, but state Sen. Joe Vitale ultimately refused to bring it up for a vote.

Our legislators are moronic control freaks
yummy,
Our legislators are moronic control freaks”
Well, they are largely socialist Democrats, so no surprise there…
There are probably good reasons for this. Also protects the seller.
49 other states disagree
Let’s phrase our posts correctly. “The last state in the nation to ban . . . ” implies all 49 other states are currently banning, and NJ may become the 50th. That’s obviously not what the poster meant.
