General information, not official approval
Cottage Food Path is an independent information site. It is not a government agency, law firm, food-safety laboratory, or permit service.
The site summarizes official material and provides a screening matrix. It does not provide legal advice, food-safety certification, a permit, regulatory approval, or a guarantee that a product may be sold.
You are responsible for checking the current rule with the responsible state or local regulator, for the accuracy of your recipe and process, and for the labels you use. If a result conflicts with an official source, the official source controls.
A “potentially allowed” result means the reviewed material supports the category under stated conditions. It does not mean the regulator has reviewed your business or that your specific product is lawful.
