No, deep fried foods aren’t allowed at all, whether they’re fried on or off site.

I have a question…I make cookies…and say I’m in a farmer’s market and I get a customer that would like to come back the following week and purchase 2 dozen cookies. Can I do that? Can I have 2 dozen cookies there for that customer the following week at the farmer’s market?

I don’t think that’s the intention of the law, but I think you can get away with it.

hahaha Well that’s why I asked! Thanks David. You may hear a lot from me while I’m getting the hang of this CFL. :)

You don’t need a license from the ag dept. You may need a business license, depending on where you live.

Yes, it is beyond the cottage food law, so there is no way to do that kind of business from home. http://forrager.com/faq/#commercial

How much does the Cottage Food license cost in unincorporated Volusia County? I can’t find that information anywhere!
-
There is no cottage food license in Florida. Check with your planning division to see if you need a business license, and other than that, you can start!

This is not a cottage food business since you are not preparing the food. I believe you’d just need to get a seller’s permit or something, and I think the health dept issues them.

You could attach a tag or you could have the ingredients separate. The most important thing is that all the info is attached in some way.

Yes you can advertise online — you just can’t sell online.

You can’t do this from home — you would have to get a commercial license: http://forrager.com/faq/#commercial

If you get a standard commercial license, which requires the use of a commercial kitchen (only), then you can do just about anything possible… it’s just more complicated and more expensive, and less convenient if you’d rather cook in your home. But you could sell anywhere, including interstate and over the internet, and you would be given a license.

As a cottage food, if I have a long term customer, what happens if she buys from me and then turns around and sells in her coffee shop without my knowledge?
-
This would be considered an indirect sale in Florida, which is illegal. You can report her to the ag dept.

Sorry, it’s not possible. You must use a commercial kitchen. http://forrager.com/faq/#commercial

I have a question. If i mix up my cookie batter at home can i bake them fresh for the customer at the farmers market with my portable cookie machine.
No, you must make, package, and label everything in your home kitchen. You can’t even have pieces of (cooked) cookie sitting on a plate for people to try… even your samples must be individually packaged in a sealed container in your home kitchen.
