Usually the two factors working against cottage food laws are health depts and existing businesses. Many health depts don’t like them because they consider food produced in an unregulated (home) environment to be a potential hazard to the public health that they can’t control. Existing businesses obviously lobby against them for fear of increased…[Read more]

Why is NJ not passing the law? I don’t understand this at all. The last state with no law, what is the reason? Many people would benefit.

Technically both states’ laws could govern the sale. At the very least, the laws for your state will come into play, which means that you wouldn’t be able to sell any homemade food, even if it was sold out-of-state.
Some states disallow sales of homemade food from other states, even though they allow their own citizens to sell homemade food in…[Read more]

Hello, trying to start up a small business with cakes in a jar I have been doing for my family and friends. I know I cannot use any creams in the jars just shelf stable frostings? is this correct? also wanted to know if I’m allowed to make hard candy apples?

I’m almost positive you need a permit to do that, but I’m not sure which one. You could do this as a limited food establishment, but you should call the ag dept to see if there’s an easier way.

As long as it doesn’t contain meat, I believe you could set yourself up as a home food processing operation: http://forrager.com/law/virginia-home-food-processing-operation/

Matt Farabaugh started the topic Outside of NY, can I sell to NY online? in the forum New York 10 years, 6 months ago
I have a food product I’d like to make myself and sell. I’m from New York, but I live in Shanghai most of the year. I’m not sure how to sell in Shanghai (a topic for another post), but I’m wondering whether it would be possible to sell foods internationally to customers in New York (and California) via the internet.
Thanks!

You cannot use your home… you must make it in a commercial kitchen. http://forrager.com/faq/#commercial

Yes, you should be able to sell jarred cakes with shelf-stable frosting.
You can sell uncut fruit and you can sell hard candy, so I assume that if you combine the two, that would be allowed. If you cut the apple, it wouldn’t be allowed, and even putting a stick in it might be a problem. You can call the ag dept to check.
Please note that New…[Read more]
