What is the best way to package scones to ensure the longest freshness without getting soft or too hard? In plastic? In a box similar to a donut box?

Cottage Oven started the topic Inexpensive pre-printed labels? in the forum Packaging & Labeling 5 years, 9 months ago
Do any of you, out there, know of any sources for pre-printed product labels that aren’t massively more expensive than just using your own laser printer and sheets of blank labels? I’d like to have a bunch of product labels all ready to go without having to print them every time, but extra toner, etc., but the sources I have checked all seem to…[Read more]

I don’t see anything in the Illinois Cottage Food Law relating hand washing and packaging.
The hand washing is for food sampling which is a separate issue from packaging. The sampling rules mention
“pre-packaged” food items that will be used for sampling, but again, that is a separate issue from what I am asking about.Charles Jackel started the topic Pre-Packaging At Home vs. Packaging At Farmers Market in the forum Packaging & Labeling 7 years, 2 months ago
Hello,
I am a registered cottage food operator with my county health department in Illinois.
The Illinois Cottage Food Law is ambiguous about WHEN cottage food must be packaged and labeled.
I would like to SELL my bagels at the farmers markets similar to a bakery, so customers can select their own
variety of bagels. Currently, I pre-bag the bagels…[Read more]Charles Jackel joined the group Packaging & Labeling 7 years, 2 months ago

Christine, this will not affect the sales cap on the HKO law.

This is a fantastic advancement to the cottage food law! Good work Rebecca and team. Hopefully the governor signs it soon.
Although this is a dramatic improvement to the current cottage food law, and it represents a breakthrough in a state that has consistently been stubborn, I don’t think this can be properly termed a food freedom initiative. I…[Read more]

The health dept could fine you, but I’m not sure if they will take immediate action. But once you go over the limit you are no longer operating as a home kitchen operation.

That sounds like great news! I read the article, and if I understand correctly, this will only change things for the Cottage Food Law. Will any of the changes affect the Home Kitchen Operation Law (cupcake law)? I would love to see the cap on gross receipts removed for that as well!
