Before you sell
Three things to confirm with the source
These change by state and change over time. Check them on the official pages above, not here.
- What you can sell, and where. Which foods qualify, and whether online sales, shipping, or delivery are allowed.
- Registration, permits, and sales limits. Whether you must register or be inspected, and whether there is a yearly sales cap.
- The label. The exact wording and information your territory requires on every package.
