Every state has different laws, but here’s a general answer: http://forrager.com/faq/#pet-food
Quite frankly, I don’t know the specific answer for most states.Since it has cream in it, it’s unlikely that it will be allowed. Often fudge is made with evaporated or condensed milk, and it’s possible that a fudge recipe made with cream would not be allowed.
But really, it’s entirely up to your environmental health dept to decide. If they aren’t familiar with the law, then they can seek guidance from someone at the CDPH, who is very familiar with the law (can’t remember her name right now).
Have you called your health dept yet? Most of the questions you asked don’t have general answers and would be determined by your county or city. It’s not necessarily true that you can run your food business under the LLC that you already have, though sometimes corporations can have multiple businesses associated with them. Basically you just need to keep calling govt depts until you get the referrals you need and find people who know what they’re talking about.
You should talk with your health dept to get the proper license. You wouldn’t need to bother with the special licensing for Limited Food Establishments since you wouldn’t be using your home kitchen to produce your items.
Neither of those are allowed under the cottage food law. There may be another exemption for selling eggs (check with the ag dept), but I’m pretty sure you need a special license to sell unpasteurized milk (if it’s possible).
Sorry Daisy, I don’t see your registration anywhere in the system. Did you get sent to a confirmation page which said you’d be getting an email? Make sure you register again on this page: http://forrager.com/register/

I believe you need a commercial license. http://forrager.com/faq/#commercial
Are you selling your chocolates? Oklahoma only allows certain homemade baked goods to be sold, so yes, selling homemade candy in OK would be illegal. If you buy chocolate from the store and then use it to make something different, then you need to be using a commercial kitchen to be doing that. http://forrager.com/faq/#commercial
“Hygiene control” means a home kitchen inspection.
Usually almost any type of enclosed packaging is acceptable, and if it’s touching the food, it should be a food-grade material.
