What are the rules for hot chocolate bombs and chocolate covered cherries? I’m concerned about a Seller’s Chronic health issue (coughing) contaminating her products.
- David Crabill replied 4 years, 11 months ago
  Someone would need to use a commercial kitchen to legally sell those in WI, but it’s exceedingly common for people not to. If you’re wondering how to deal with that seller, this is what I usually suggest: https://forrager.com/faq/#illegal

What are the rules on flavored honey (not cooked) and homemade vanilla? I cannot find these anywhere.
- David Crabill replied 4 years, 11 months ago
  The lawsuit exemption only covers baked goods. The pickle bill only covers canned goods. Most states have some kind of exemption for selling honey, but that might not apply to flavored honey. I’d recommend contacting the ag dept about that. As for vanilla, you’ll likely need to produce that in a commercial kitchen in order to sell it legally.

Hey everyone! Any of you sell cupcakes? If so, where are you purchasing your cupcake boxes from? I’m looking for a non-Amazon alternative for supplies.

Corinne, see here to determine if you need insurance: https://forrager.com/faq/#insurance
If you do need it, get FLIP insurance, which is $300/year.

You cannot ship products in CA. I’m actually working on a bill this year to try to allow in-state shipping.
David Crabill replied to the topic Cottage Law – shipping in the forum Packaging & Labeling 5 years ago
It depends on what state you live in. 18 states allow in-state shipping. Most of the people selling homemade food on Etsy are doing so illegally.

Hi, do you have any low fare liability insurance to advise to me in Florida? I haven’t found anything under $82.00 a month.

Am I correct in thinking I cannot use cream cheese frosting as a cottage food operation? I am in Virginia, and I see that Buttercream frostings are considered “borderline” meaning acceptable. Does cream cheese frosting require refrigeration for the finished baked good?

David Crabill replied to the topic Allowed and prohibitive items in the forum Forrager 5 years, 1 month ago
Adding to what Cottage Oven said, I only add items that I can confirm. If I can’t confirm whether an item is allowed or prohibited, I don’t add it to either list. I list the source info in the Resources section of the page.
If a state’s law specifically says that it only allows baked goods, then I can confirm that anything non-baked is prohibited.
