Not sure I am in the right place, but I have a general law question. Are there any states that currently allow cottage food operators to prep baked goods in a commercial/shared kitchen under the same license?

Hi Shane, It’s so fabulous how supportive you are of your wife!
From my personal experience, Square is a great system although they do not offer bookkeeping. They will do most everything else from POS to scheduling to payroll to “banking”, etc. Although for our business we just use it for POSS, scheduling, and savings. They will do the item…[Read more]

Any frosting without dairy or eggs would be allowed. You can look into basic icings, vegan frostings, or purchased shelf-stable frostings.

You can use commercially-produced oils in your baked goods. The “no oils” category means that you cannot sell oils (like infused oils) to consumers.

Hi, I really appreciate the feedback and the forum on this site has been a great resource! I had one question about olive oil. I know under prohibited sales it says “No Oils”, but would that include using a store bought olive oil in my bread dough before baking? I’d like to make a focaccia bread with only herbs on top, but my recipe includes olive…[Read more]

Thanks!

Hey,
Does anyone know if it’s acceptable to sell raw pizza dough (Under NY cottage law) for a consumer to take and bake themselves? Thanks!- Load More
Yes, there are many states that allow a cottage food business to use a commercial kitchen. I don’t have an easy way to show states that allow it, but here is a list of the states that DON’T allow a cottage food business to use a commercial kitchen: https://forrager.com/laws/?limitations=commercial-kitchen-prohibited
All of the other states do allow it.
