David Crabill replied to the topic Why is WA Cottage Law so stuffy? in the forum Washington 9 years, 4 months ago
I don’t know exactly why, but it seems to affect all populous states. CA and TX have had to go through major efforts to get their laws to be reasonable. CA would probably be the same as WA, or worse, if it weren’t for the major desires and pressures from its citizens for local food. CA is usually on the front end of trends when it comes to the…[Read more]

David Crabill wrote a new post, Starting Your Food Business The Easy Way 9 years, 5 months ago
Cottage food laws are designed to make the process of starting a food business much easier, but in some states, it’s still fairly complicated to do. In states like New Mexico, Pennsylvania, and Utah, there isn’t […]

David Crabill replied to the topic Ingredients Lists in the forum Florida 9 years, 5 months ago
Geani, probably the best thing would be to create two labels for the different types of cupcakes. If you are selling a package that contains both kinds, then I think it’s okay for you to merge them into one label, but not as useful for the consumer. From what I’ve seen in the grocery store, usually the ingredient lists are separated when a package…[Read more]

Alex, it depends on where you live, but many states will not allow ganache, since it contains cream.

I’m not sure about buttercream. Florida’s ag dept has said that it prohibits “milk & dairy products”, but they might allow milk and/or butter in a frosting.

Sorry, I’m not sure about the requirements for honey in Utah; I’d suggest you contact the ag dept.

David Crabill replied to the topic Samples, etc in the forum Florida 9 years, 5 months ago
Actually the ag dept’s stance on sampling recently changed, and this element got overlooked when I updated that law page a couple weeks ago. Sorry about that!
You can offer samples as long as they are prepackaged in your home kitchen. They don’t need to have individual labels, but you do need to have a fully-labeled product on-hand to show the…[Read more]

David Crabill replied to the topic Home bakers law in the forum Illinois 9 years, 5 months ago
I don’t know of anyone who has compiled a list of counties, but perhaps some health dept has one. Try calling up Cook County and seeing if they know more. If you can’t find a list, it’s possible that one doesn’t exist. If you spend the time to create one by contacting every county’s health dept, I’d be happy to incorporate it into the law page so…[Read more]

1) I never started my cookie business (for various reasons), and having recently moved, I am once again trying to start a CFO. But I wouldn’t start a business based on non-customized cookies, as I explain here. […]

Mary, yes, I remember your diligent efforts in OK to get the law passed. Is there something you need before you can help clients?

No — CFOs must sell their products to the final consumer.

As long as you get a residential kitchen license, you should be able to sell to stores, though I’m not sure if there’s extra licensing required, like a wholesale license.

I don’t understand it either.
You’ll have to check with zoning laws before you can establish a pickup area, and you may have to get some kind of permit.
