PHOENIX — Sometime this summer, something already occurring on Arizona streets will become legal.That’s the sale of home-made tamales and certain other items classified as “cottage food products.’’Gov. Katie Hobbs penned her approval Friday to the legislation. That means it will take effect 90 days after the Legislature’s session ends, a date that, for the moment, remains unclear.The measure expands the list of items that can be legally sold after being made in home kitchens, now largely limited to cakes and cookies, to include items with meat and those that have to be prepared and kept at a certain temperature.The Democratic governor had vetoed an earlier version last year, citing concerns about food-borne illness, despite the plan’s widespread — and bipartisan — support. Her comments then angered some lawmakers, particularly Latino legislators, and led to the risk of a veto override, the first in more than four decades.
