David Crabill replied to the topic APPROVED VEGAN FROSTINGS and HUGE EXTRA FEES in the forum California 8 years, 1 month ago
There are some counties that will not approve anything that isn’t explicitly on the approved list, and it sounds like you’re in one of those counties. In that case, you either need to adapt your products or go the commercial route.

David Crabill replied to the topic Two CFO operating from the same home kitchen in the forum California 8 years, 2 months ago

Hi,
Is it allowed for two people who live in the same home such as husband and wife to each obtain his/her CFO permit and share their home kitchen to do the baking?

Thanks.

Most charitable bake sales are exempt from the requirements of food businesses. http://forrager.com/faq/#nonprofit

Getting a CFO license means that you can ONLY use your home kitchen. You do not need to get your kitchen inspected unless you want to sell indirectly (via a third party, like a store). http://forrager.com/law/california/

I don’t understand it either.
You’ll have to check with zoning laws before you can establish a pickup area, and you may have to get some kind of permit.

Charlotte, it hasn’t changed, and I don’t think it will change anytime soon. You will need to use a commercial kitchen. http://forrager.com/faq/#commercial

I believe so, and you would definitely need to repackage it in a commercial and inspected kitchen. http://forrager.com/faq/#commercial
