I have my DBA, EIN, and vendor’s license. I am wanting to buy bulk candy and resell it online in smaller packaging. I even found a candy wholesale distributor willing to sell to me. My issue now is repackaging. I’m not making this product. I want to make sure I’m not infringing on copyright.

I started selling my Elderberry Syrup and Fire Cider on local platforms and I’m realizing to go to some markets and craft fairs people want to see the cert, so I’m working on that.

Hi – I am looking to sell sliced potatoes that would be covered in Salt/Olive Oil. Do you know if I fall under the Cottage Food Law? The potatoes would be bought from a grocery store.
