Assuming your pudding has dairy and/or eggs in it, no, it would not be allowed under IL’s cottage food law. You’d need to produce it in a commercial kitchen. See the notes below the allowed foods list: https://forrager.com/law/illinois/#food
Sari Kimbell started the topic Sales Tax Workshop for Packaged Food Makers in the forum Cookies 2 years, 2 months ago
One of the things I see a lot of folks get wrong is their sales tax reporting. Often they are paying (a lot) when they shouldn’t be paying anything! Or they aren’t paying at all. There have been some recent changes to how states are requiring you to pay sales tax and because it is food, it isn’t the same as other products. Whether you are selling…[Read more]

I’m not an expert on this, but if expense is a primary concern, I don’t see how pre-printing is going to match the cost of doing it at home. Commercially printing is convenient and gives you more options, but I haven’t heard anyone say it’s inexpensive.

Sorry, Carol, there never was a reply to this and I have not found any pre-printed labels that were inexpensive enough for me to switch from using my laser printer.
Maybe we’ll be lucky and these two new messages in the thread will catch the eye of someone who can point us to a good source.
