Nebraska

Nebraska does have a cottage food law, though it’s quite limited in that sales may only be made at farmers markets. However, no permits or fees are required and sellers are not limited to how much they can sell. Also, most non-potentially hazardous foods are allowed.

Selling

Allowed Venues

Farmers markets

At the farmers markets, sellers must display a placard that states that the food was prepared in a kitchen that is not subject to regulation and inspection by the regulatory authority.

Allowed Foods

Only "non-potentially hazardous" foods are allowed, but certain non-PHFs may not be allowed. Most foods that don't need to be refrigerated (foods without meat, cheese, etc.) are considered non-potentially hazardous. Learn more
