Does anyone know if I can use a whipped cream filling for a cake? I am unclear if I can. Thank you!

I could explain what non-PHF means, but that is only applicable to baked goods or confections. Basically, none of the items you’re describing, like jams or sauces, are allowed in Arizona under the cottage food law. That means that to legally sell your products, they would need to be produced in a commercial kitchen.

Arizona is pretty lenient… you will be fine with this kind of item.

Michelle, can you repost your question in the forum for all to see? This here is my activity feed, and others won’t be able to follow the conversation.

As long as your caramel sauce is considered non-potentially hazardous confectionary good, then you should be able to sell as a cottage food operation using the laws described on this site. Caramel sauces may be a little more borderline, and your health department may require that it be lab-tested before approving your registration.

You can call your planning division to find out if you are required to get a business license. It’s quite possible that you would be. If you are, you can use this website to learn about starting a small business.
I am not familiar with Arizona’s tax laws, but in general, many cottage food operations are exempt from sales tax, because the food…[Read more]

No, you can’t — that’s classified as a potentially hazardous food.
