Cottage Food Laws

Cottage Food Laws are regulations that allow individuals to prepare and sell low-risk foods from their homes without needing a commercial kitchen. These laws vary by state or country and typically cover items like baked goods, jams, or certain snacks. The aim is to support small-scale food businesses while ensuring safety. Producers may need to register, label their products, and comply with specific hygiene standards. These laws provide opportunities for home cooks to earn income while making food available to consumers, promoting local entrepreneurship.
