I’m trying to reconcile what DATCP is telling me with the way I’m reading the WI Cottage Food law with respect to selling dehydrated/minced onions and garlic powder (all grown at home) at a local farmers market. I’m getting conflicting information.

So excited to get started! I was wondering if confectioner’s sugar and milk glaze is considered something that needs to be refrigerated? Also, I see that you can’t make focaccia-style bread, but I don’t understand why. Is it the ingredients? or the way you make it? I just don’t want to make a mistake.
-
Powdered sugar with a little bit of milk should not spoil since the sugar stabilizes the mixture. If you spread the glaze thinly, allowing water to evaporate, it will make it even more shelf stable.

I can’t find anywhere if WI requires you to have any sort of certification or license for Cottage Food-is it not required to sell under Cottage Food Law?

What are the rules for hot chocolate bombs and chocolate covered cherries? I’m concerned about a Seller’s Chronic health issue (coughing) contaminating her products.

Someone would need to use a commercial kitchen to legally sell those in WI, but it’s exceedingly common for people not to. If you’re wondering how to deal with that seller, this is what I usually suggest: https://forrager.com/faq/#illegal

What are the rules on flavored honey (not cooked) and homemade vanilla? I cannot find these anywhere.
-
The lawsuit exemption only covers baked goods. The pickle bill only covers canned goods. Most states have some kind of exemption for selling honey, but that might not apply to flavored honey. I’d recommend contacting the ag dept about that. As for vanilla, you’ll likely need to produce that in a commercial kitchen in order to sell it legally.

Yes you would need a license from the ag department, and you would need to produce the food in a commercial kitchen. https://forrager.com/faq/#commercial
