Common questions about cottage food labels

What is required on a cottage food label?
Most states require the product name, ingredients list, allergen warnings, net weight, the producer's name and address, and a disclaimer stating the food was made in a home kitchen not inspected by the health department. Requirements vary by state.
Do I need a special printer for cottage food labels?
No. A regular home printer works fine. Print on standard paper or adhesive label sheets from any office supply store. Many sellers use 2x3 or 3x4 inch adhesive labels.
Do all states require cottage food labels?
Nearly all states with cottage food laws require some form of labeling. The specific requirements differ. Some states require allergen warnings while others only need a disclaimer. This tool generates labels based on your state's category of requirements.
Can I sell cottage food online?
It depends on your state. Some states allow online sales and shipping within state lines, while others restrict cottage food to in-person sales only. Check your state's specific cottage food law for sales channel rules.
