You would need to make the muffins and cookies in a commercial kitchen. As far as I know, it isn’t possible to do at home. http://forrager.com/faq/#commercial
Colorado actually doesn’t specifically say in their online resources that shipping is disallowed, but if you asked the health dept, I’m 95% sure they would say no to shipping. You can interpret it however you want, but interstate sales are definitely not allowed.
I don’t think those are allowed under the cottage food law.
I know someone in San Francisco (Cookie Dough Cookies) that was approved to sell cookie dough made with pasteurized eggs. He doesn’t freeze it but that doesn’t matter. Even still, your county might not allow it, but it’s definitely possible.
Yes, it is beyond the cottage food law, so there is no way to do that kind of business from home. http://forrager.com/faq/#commercial
I know you need a business license and you need to file taxes every month. I don’t know if they require you to get an EIN… usually you only get one if you are an employer of others, but sometimes it’s necessary for other reasons. You should ask about that when you apply for your business license.
No — no drink items are allowed.
This is not a cottage food business since you are not preparing the food. I believe you’d just need to get a seller’s permit or something, and I think the health dept issues them.
You could attach a tag or you could have the ingredients separate. The most important thing is that all the info is attached in some way.
Yes you can advertise online — you just can’t sell online.
