hi, I am I Utah. I would like to make Chai Tea and sell to local coffee houses etc. Is this allowed? I know there are two routes in Utah, looks like it may be allowed under the Food Freedom Law, but then it would not be legal to sell wholesale. Hum? Should I call the Cottage Food coordinator and ask? Thanks!

You’re correct. This would be allowed to sell directly to people under the food freedom law, but it won’t be allowed to sell it to coffee houses. I suggest starting to sell under the food freedom law, and then moving to a commercial kitchen when you’re ready to grow.
