    Hi,

    I make fresh cucumbers & peppers pickles and refrigerate. If they’re cut and not whole and also not cooked, wouldn’t it be considered a non-PHF. Is it possible I’d be accepted in the Cottage Law program?

    Generally, PHFs need to be refrigerated and non-PHFs do not require refrigeration. California does not allow pickles as a cottage food, and would also not allow cut produce, unless it’s been baked or prepared in some way to make it shelf-stable. To sell your items, you need to setup a standard food business and make your items from a commercial kitchen.
