I really have no idea. When you make a health claim on the label, you need to get the nutrition facts for it, but in this case, I think you should call the health dept for more details.

For all the talk from health depts about cottage foods being unsafe (because the kitchen is not inspected), I have never heard of one person getting sued over their cottage food products. Many CFOs get liability insurance to protect against it, and yet as far as I can tell none have needed it. By the very nature of cottage foods, they are very safe, even when made in a home kitchen.

The MN case is all I can think of as well. It’s odd that the only case is not against the cottage food law, but for it and against the state ag dept instead.

Yes, all of those items should be allowed. Bagels are the only questionable one, since they’re deep-fried, not baked. You can call the health dept for clarification.

You need a commercial (and catering, I believe) license, and you need to cook your foods in a commercial kitchen: http://forrager.com/faq/#commercial

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