Cottage &
Homemade Food

Nearly every US state has laws allowing people to produce certain food products in the home (or “cottage”). These laws recognize that baked goods, jams, dry mixes, and candies pose a low risk of foodborne illness.

While cottage food laws ease safety requirements over “non-potentially hazardous food” production, each state’s legal and regulatory approach varies. These resources will prepare you to navigate these situations in your state.
