Hello everyone. How are people able to sell cake pops without being dipped in candy melts?

I am a little confused on some of the restrictions for home processing. I have a bread pudding that I make. Is that an item I can sell? It will have raisins in it. I also and not clear about banana pudding since it is not cooked and contains milk/cream.
-
Anything that requires refrigeration is not allowed. So you cannot sell homemade bread pudding and banana pudding in NY. See this section for more info: https://forrager.com/law/new-york/#food

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.
As far as focaccia, that restriction is only for bread topped with vegetables or cheese and then baked. It’s recommended to refrigerate that type of…[Read more]

Thank you David! I have really appreciated your videos. I am currently in my giveaway launch on a Facebook group. Half a Loaf 4 U. I am hoping to sell mini-breads. I have cinnamon sugar, banana chocolate chip and lemon blueberry. Would love for you to take a look at the site and give me any feedback. Amy Joannes

Hi, all! I use my home kitchen to make cookies that happen to be made with cricket powder.
A seriously-major company just reached out to me to ask if I can make and ship a large number of cookies to various media entities, to promote a bug-related documentary they will be releasing in March. So, I would need to ship outside of NY.
I’d like to…[Read more]

Yes, hot sauces would be considered an acidified food, and as long as yours stays below a 4.6 pH, then you should be able to sell it with VA’s basic exemption. No inspection needed, but you may need a general business license. You can ask around at the farmers market to see if vendors needed anything else to sell from home, or the farmers market…[Read more]

Hi! Thx I’ve found this thread before starting my old idea. As an old-school brewer and latte fan, I’ve been wanting to open a little coffee shop. Also purchased some additional latte stuff – Nespresso machines, new grinder etc. I never thought about it from the standpoint of the law, so I’m going to get to know everything, and I’m going to write…[Read more]

It still floors me that NY doesn’t allow this. I think they are the only one. My guess is that people produce them and the ag dept turns a blind eye to it (if they notice it at all). I really don’t see why using a commercially-produced candy melt would be unsafe in any way. I guess there is some theoretical risk to melted chocolate, but candy…[Read more]
