Yes, you can sell dry tea with a cottage food permit.

That does not fall under the cottage food law and you will need to use a commercial kitchen to produce your items. http://forrager.com/faq/#commercial

Hello, I am planning to start a CFO in Los Angeles. On the application it asks: “Have you obtained planning approval to operate as a CFO from the City/County Planning Department?” Well I have been all over the Dept of City Planning City of LA’s website, tried calling multiple phone extensions and cannot seem to get any info on how to get this…[Read more]

You get the approval by talking to someone in the planning dept. If they don’t return your call (can sometimes take up to two weeks for a govt dept), then you could try going to their office.

If you want to sell chocolate-covered strawberries, you need to prepare them in a commercial kitchen. There is no license that would allow you to do this from home. http://forrager.com/faq/#commercial

I honestly don’t know what’s technically allowed and what’s not. I’d recommend you contact your ag dept

David replied to the topic Cake decorations that are edible in the forum Florida 9 years, 6 months ago
I would think that most simple sugar decorations would be allowed. Anything requiring refrigeration would not be allowed. If your decorations have dairy in them, I’d recommend you call the Bureau of Food and Meat Inspection at 850-245-5520.

David replied to the topic Store front in the forum California 9 years, 6 months ago
You don’t report sales, aside from reporting income on taxes. One protection you would get from the law is simply being a legal business, and nobody can sue you as long as you stay within the law.
The state would never have time to sue… more likely it would be a consumer or someone who didn’t like you. This is a rare occurrence that might…[Read more]

David replied to the topic Sellers Permit in Los Angeles California in the forum California 9 years, 6 months ago
Food is not necessarily non-taxable, especially at the county or city levels. Also, for events that charge an admission fee, I’ve heard that all food sold must be taxed. I’m not a tax expert, but I know that this stuff can be pretty complex and you should try to find someone in the govt who knows what they’re talking about.
You would want to get…[Read more]

I’m trying to piece together info from different threads and wanted to ask for some further explanation?
Seller’s Permit – They are free from the state, and I find myself running into events and farmer’s markets that require them. How does applying for one make a CFO responsible for taxes, though? Since food is non taxable, will we have to…[Read more]

David replied to the topic is it legal? in the forum Florida 9 years, 6 months ago
It sounds like it’s time for you to go the commercial route. The cottage food law was mainly setup as an easier avenue for someone to start a food business. I would assume that if you wanted to get bigger, you wouldn’t want to be restricted to the $15,000 sales cap of the cottage food law anyway.
CFOs can only use a residential kitchen, so it…[Read more]

David replied to the topic is it legal? in the forum Florida 9 years, 7 months ago
No, you can’t sell via an office or other type of business / store front. You can only sell your products at your home, a farmers market, a roadside stand, or at certain types of events. You can also deliver your products to a customer.

Those restrictions mostly apply to unbaked items. If you bake an item with a heavy amount of eggs or cream, like a custard, that’s not allowed, but one or two eggs in a thoroughly-baked cake is fine.
Almost any kind of frosting without eggs, cream, or cream cheese will likely be approved by your health dept. Buttercream frostings are allowed. You…[Read more]
@david butterceam is maid with butter milk or cream can i still use regular butter or do i hve to use a bairy free butter n milk
You can use butter (does not need to be dairy-free) in your frostings, but you can’t use cream. I also don’t think you can use buttermilk. Butter does not have a high moisture content, so it is safe at room temperature, which is why it’s allowed. You probably can’t produce your own butter to make a buttercream frosting, but maybe your county would…[Read more]
