"Today, regulators at the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (VDACS) clarified that home bakers are free to advertise their products online. VDACS’ reversal comes after the Institute for Justice (IJ) sent a letter to the department, on behalf of Virginia home baker Kelly Phillips, calling on them to lift their ban against home bakers advertising their products online.
Last month, IJ confronted VDACS about its ban after regulators told Kelly, the owner of KP’s Kake Pops & Treats, that she couldn’t use her website or social media accounts to advertise her business without being permitted as a food establishment."
