Here’s something for discussion: Some cities, states and even countries have been banning “single-use” plastic items, including some of the things that we, as cottage-food operations, use for packaging products and samples.

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.
