Delaware Cottage Food Laws
Everything you need to know about selling homemade food from your kitchen in Delaware.
Delaware requires an 8-hour food safety training course costing $175 just to sell cookies from your home — one of the most burdensome registration processes of any state, despite having one of the narrowest lists of allowed foods.

Notes
Despite removing the revenue cap in December 2023, Delaware remains one of the most restrictive states. Registration costs $30/year (renew by April 1). Requires a lengthy application, home kitchen inspection, and mandatory 8-hour food safety training ($175). Very narrow list of allowed products. Online sales explicitly prohibited. Labels must include a 10-point minimum cottage food disclaimer.
