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

When processed correctly, hot sauce is perfectly safe. But if best canning practices are not followed, canned goods could potentially be deadly. That’s why homemade acid and acidified foods like hot sauce are not allowed in many states, although the risk is quite low.
Instead, the ag/health dept will require you to use a commercial kitchen and go…[Read more]Letesa Sayles joined the group Packaging & Labeling 10 months, 3 weeks ago

You can sell fresh, uncut produce without needing any permit. The only restriction, to my knowledge, are sprouts… those are regulated. You could sell under your LLC but you likely don’t have to.
David Crabill replied to the topic Alternatives to plastic in packaging? in the forum Packaging & Labeling 11 months, 2 weeks ago
I can’t say that I’ve researched it, but I suspect that many of those laws (I live in CA, so I’ve seen the effects of some of them) would only apply to producers of a certain size.

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 ago

Hi all! I’ve been growing fresh vegetables and herbs like basil in my home using my hydroponics gardening systems, and I was just wondering if that is something that I can sell. Do I need a cottage food license to sell that/how do I report it on my taxes, do I need to use my LLC name to sell? Thank you so much for the info! I’ve been trying to fin…[Read more]

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.
In many cases, these bans focus upon plastic grocery bags and drinking straws, but some include fast-food packaging and…[Read more]
