A while back, I called the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services and spoke with Melissa Durkin (who has since moved to another position).
At the time, she said that, officially, there is nothing in Florida’s cottage-food law specifically prohibiting shipping out of state – only that the current law (contrary to the past) now…[Read more]

Since this is in the Florida forum, rather than California, I’ll throw in my two-cents’ worth.
In Florida, you can register an LLC quickly and easily online at Sunbiz and it only costs $125.00 each year (with a couple of options that could add up to $35.00 more). Far less than the California numbers mentioned in the Forrager FAQ.
One of the…[Read more]

Hi everyone, based on Florida’s cottage food law, are we allowed to sell products to other states? I read that we can use USPS to deliver across state line, but wanted to make sure. If this is possible, do you know what states DO NOT allow interstate CFO commerce? Thanks!

In general, I think an LLC is overkill for most cottage food businesses. You can read more here: https://forrager.com/faq/#llc

As Keith referenced, Florida updated its cottage food law in 2021, and now localities (like Miami Dade) can’t prohibit cottage food businesses.

For a definitive answer, go to FreshFromFlorida.com, search for “cottage foods” and download the PDF file they have there. In it, you will find a Tallahassee phone number you can call to get an official answer to your question.
Apart from that, if it is a powdered non-dairy creamer, the resulting glaze should probably be okay for cottage food.…[Read more]

Hello, I just had a quick question regarding cottage food laws and what is allowed. I thought I would try asking here!
I have a glaze that uses a “non dairy creamer” as part of the ingredients. However upon looking at the ingredients of this non dairy creamer, it states it contains less than 2% of sodium caseinate, a milk derivative. Would thi…[Read more]Becky joined the group Florida 1 year, 6 months ago

David Crabill replied to the topic Business License Required? in the forum Florida 2 years, 3 months ago
It depends on your county/city. If they require business licenses, usually they require them for any type of food business. The only way to know for sure is to contact the dept that administers business licenses.
