Hey group. I have a question. Sorry if you have answered this before, but I am not sure how to search this yet. Here is my question. Can we sell canned syrups to restaurants? What are the requirements to do so?

Thanks for making me aware of that law text. I wasn’t aware of it and it is different from MO’s previous cottage food law. I agree that under that rule, you should be able to sell muesli from a stand. You probably wouldn’t be able to sell it directly from your home, or deliver, or sell online, etc. You should contact the health dept again with…[Read more]

Hi, From what I understand, you are not allowed to sell pies that are custard filled, cream filled, etc… due to refrigeration? Is this correct?
-
Yes that is correct. No custard or cream filled pies.

Hi! New to the group. I am the manager of our farmers market here in Ferguson, MO. I see from previous posts that someone else has had issues getting answers from our county health dept about cottage laws here in North County St. Louis. My main question is who has final say over whether a vendor can sell products at our market made under cottage…[Read more]

Mary, the Missouri page on here is a good starting point, since it summarizes what’s in the law: https://forrager.com/law/missouri/
The best place to find official info is from the health dept. The health dept must follow the law, as long as the law is clear. But they are able to interpret it if it is ambiguous. In the case of canned goods, their…[Read more]-
Thanks for your reply. I would love to allow cottage food businesses at our market so very disappointed our county health won’t allow it. I would also love it if our health dept was the best place for information. Unfortunately, they don’t even seem knowledgeable on some things. I was standing by our inspector at our last market while he told the…[Read more]

@marebake That is unbelievable. I’ve heard of uninformed inspectors but that is extreme! Sorry to hear it.

Hi, everyone. New to the group here, and new to the cottage industry. I’m starting a cottage business in St. Louis City. I reached out to the City License department to see if they require one for cottage businesses, but have not heard back. Is anyone here in STL City or familiar with STL City laws in this regard? Thanks for your help.
-
I’ve heard that St. Louis restricts cottage food businesses to only selling out of the home. I don’t believe any other town or city in MO restricts cottage food businesses in that way. So it’s a major issue, for sure. You should try talking to the health dept to confirm this. As far as the city business license is concerned, I’m sure that they…[Read more]

I have a question about selling pickles at my local farmers market on the Big Island – after looking at the food that’s prohibited ( sauerkraut, kimchi, pickles?!) What are the most current (2021 ) allowed foods and if pickles are not included why not? I use a 5% vinegar which is the recommended strength even for commercial manufacturing

As far as I know, the rules for Hawaii haven’t changed recently. The reason many states don’t allow canned foods is due to botulism concerns, which could potentially be deadly. Canned foods, when properly prepared, are perfectly safe, but their concern is that a home cook might not properly prepare them. I’m not saying that I agree with the…[Read more]

I can see that you are asking this for Arkansas. Arkansas does not allow any homemade food items to be sold in (or to) restaurants. You’d need to use a commercial kitchen.
