What Goes On A Cottage Food Label
Every state writes its own cottage food rules, but most labels need the same handful of things: the product name, the amount, the ingredients from most to least by weight, an allergen line, your business name and address, and a statement that it was made in a home kitchen. Some states also ask for a date, a permit number, or a minimum font size. Check your state before you print, and read our guide to what cottage food labels must include.
