Nearly every state in the United States has a cottage food law that allows for the sale of low-risk foods produced in a home kitchen. However, these laws vary widely between states. Differences include types of products that can be made and sold, annual sales limits, and how or where the food can be sold. Join us for a webinar on April 27 that will cover the specifics of the cottage food laws in California and Washington states. Dr. Erin DiCaprio from the University of California, Davis and Dr. Stephanie Smith from Washington State University will review details on cottage food registration, what types of licenses you’ll need, and product labeling requirements. They will also highlight considerations for food businesses developing and growing beyond cottage food law limits.   

For organic growers who may be considering experimenting with value-added products, we’ll also touch on organic labeling requirements and how to market value-added products in compliance with organic regulations without having to add a handler scope to your grower certification.
