As Keith referenced, Florida updated its cottage food law in 2021, and now localities (like Miami Dade) can’t prohibit cottage food businesses.

Here is some info about that: https://forrager.com/faq/#repackaging
Basically, yes you can do this with unwrapped candy. You mentioned “variety”… the variety resulting from combining candies should be enough of a change for you to not worry about copyright. And I’d also consider how branded the product is in the first place. If it’s a generic…[Read more]

I have a question. I know that in Ohio it says that a prohibited item for a cottage bakery is chocolate covered fresh fruit. I make chocolate covered cherries using maraschino cherries. They are very shelf stable. Are these an allowable item? It’s kind of a gray area so any input or advice will be appreciated. Thank you!

David Crabill replied to the topic Alternatives to plastic in packaging? in the forum Packaging & Labeling 1 year, 6 months ago
I can’t say that I’ve researched it, but I suspect that many of those laws (I live in CA, so I’ve seen the effects of some of them) would only apply to producers of a certain size.

For example, I order a 30-pound bag of candy that is…[Read more]

For a definitive answer, go to FreshFromFlorida.com, search for “cottage foods” and download the PDF file they have there. In it, you will find a Tallahassee phone number you can call to get an official answer to your question.
Apart from that, if it is a powdered non-dairy creamer, the resulting glaze should probably be okay for cottage food.…[Read more]
Becky started the topic Non-Dairy Creamer in the forum Florida 1 year, 6 months ago
Hello, I just had a quick question regarding cottage food laws and what is allowed. I thought I would try asking here!
I have a glaze that uses a “non dairy creamer” as part of the ingredients. However upon looking at the ingredients of this non dairy creamer, it states it contains less than 2% of sodium caseinate, a milk derivative. Would thi…[Read more]
