This information is provided for educational purposes only and may not reflect the most current state guidance. Cottage food laws vary by state and can change. Always verify requirements with your state or local regulatory authority before selling.
Each cottage food product sold in Minnesota must display a label with: (1) your full registered name or your registered cottage food business name; (2) your registration number or home address; (3) the date the product was made; (4) your full ingredients list, including major allergens; and (5) the exact statement: "These products are homemade and not subject to state inspection." QR codes cannot substitute for any required label element. The same disclosure statement must also appear as a clearly legible point-of-sale sign or placard and prominently on any website where you offer these foods for purchase. Check the MDA for current labeling requirements before printing.
