Hello all! As a CFO in FL, I am struggling understanding shelf-stability in particular items -why certain ingredients/baked goods would need refrigeration, while others do not. For instance- in this recipe for Red Velvet Cookies (https://sallysbakingaddiction.com/cream-cheese-stuffed…/) – its ok to leave them at room temperature even though they…[Read more]

I have just begun making shrubs – the fruit syrup and vinegar mixture. I am trying to find information about what I need to do to safely bottle and store this for sale.

Would anyone know the current regulation in Florida on selling freeze dried foods? I realize that fruits, vegetables and legumes etc would be allowed-but what about animal snacks (freeze dried chicken) or freeze dried meals (those with protein included-meats, etc)? Any info would be great!

Hi I am new to this kind of business but I don’t want to take the wrong steps either
So the gist of what I get from reading all the information from the forums and state websites is that the bottom line is we do need to get a business license regardless of the cottage laws that states that you can start cooking and selling right off the bat.…[Read more]Varghese Thomas joined the group Florida 5 years, 11 months ago

Because it’s not always apparent when things are shelf-stable and when they are not, FL does not allow anything with cream cheese or butter (though butter in something thoroughly baked is allowed).
Regarding the science of it, there are a lot of variables at play. In general, sugar is a stabilizer that will make something more shelf-stable.…[Read more]
Thanks David. What about fudge? Is that allowed in FL?
