Holly, I don’t think you’ll make much progress until you contact the health dept directly. It doesn’t appear that this will get added to the approved food list anytime soon.

David replied to the topic Kombucha! What license do I need to sell in California? in the forum California 10 years, 11 months ago

You need a commercial license: http://forrager.com/faq/#commercial

Hi Justine,
I was wondering if you’ve made any progress getting licensed to sell fermented products. I’ve found it’s very hard to get any info in CA.

David replied to the topic Website sales for cottage business in the forum California 10 years, 11 months ago

You can see the CDPH’s clarification in question 9 of their FAQs. The last sentence in that question, about selling outside your county, is no longer true for direct sales, which can now be made anywhere within the state.

David replied to the topic Selling Sauce on a Truck in the forum California 10 years, 11 months ago

Sorry, I’m really only familiar with the laws for items produced from home… food trucks have a completely different set of laws. I’d recommend you talk with the health dept to determine the easiest path for you to take (which probably wouldn’t involve the cottage food law, since you already have a food truck).

David replied to the topic Condiments with milk or egg in the forum California 10 years, 11 months ago

Generally speaking, any type of food that needs to be refrigerated is not allowed. Homemade mayo and garlic/oil mixtures are not allowed, and you would need to use a commercial kitchen to produce them. http://forrager.com/faq/#commercial

David replied to the topic Condiments with milk or egg in the forum California 10 years, 11 months ago

First of all, thank you for the response, very helpful.

What about a type of aioli with only garlic and oil as ingredients (no dairy)? Is there any place I can call to get more details on what is allowed and what is not?

Thank you again!

David started the topic Condiments with milk or egg in the forum California 10 years, 11 months ago

Hi, I have a quick question in regards to condiments. I want to make a type of mayonnaise that I can make with either milk or raw egg but I don’t see these ingredients on the list. What the law says about these ingredients?

Thank you.

David replied to the topic Workers Compensation insurance with no employees? & NAICS code for baked goods? in the forum California 10 years, 12 months ago

I don’t think you have to have liability insurance, though some venues (eg farmers markets) may require it.

I think you could use that code, but a more accurate one may be 44529, because likely you will be selling your products outside your home.

David replied to the topic Question in the forum California 11 years ago

You will not be able to use the cottage food law. Instead, you need to get a commercial license: http://forrager.com/faq/#commercial

Hey everyone! I’m new to Forrager but have been a CFO owner for about 6 months now. I’m working to build my customer base and wanted to see if anyone could give some advice. My company, Lush Cupcake Creations, is working to reestablish itself in the community with a more specified audience (business owners) to coincide with the labor intensive…[Read more]

I’ve heard that the utility of Facebook is now pretty limited due to their paywall restrictions. I’ve heard that Yelp is pretty good at reaching out. However, since it sounds like you’re trying to sell to businesses, I don’t think there’s going to be any replacement for cold calling and tons of effort.
I see you’re in Santa Barbara. Isn’t there a…[Read more]

David replied to the topic product ingredients on application?? in the forum California 11 years ago

Some counties require every single label with ingredient lists for each and every final product and variation you could possibly make, but I think Sacramento is a little more relaxed about that. However, they may have changed their policy about that, especially considering the fact that their application now asks for “specific foods”. This is one…[Read more]
