Brownies are a non-potentially hazardous baked good and are allowed.

Many states allow roasted coffee, but Maryland doesn’t specifically list info about it online. I assume that you would be allowed to make it, given Maryland’s rules, but you need to ask your health department before going ahead. Sorry I can’t help you too much.

No, there is not currently any kind of amendment bill that I know of. Maryland’s allowed foods are fairly typical, but somewhat more limited than most states. Other states also allow unbaked items like candy, popcorn, or dry mixes.

Diane, thanks for the heads up! I always like hearing from locals that have more accurate information. Could you be more specific about what is wrong with the Georgia page?

Erin, as you deduced, this would be classified as an indirect sale. I understand your desire to support the business, but the intention of the law is that the end-consumer would meet the producer. I’d imagine that this wouldn’t be the case with your gift boxes. Best of luck!
