Description

This is for those who are thinking of selling food items from your home kitchen or at the local farmers market. Mississippi’s Cottage Food Law allows certain food items to be prepared and sold from home kitchens without getting a permit from the Mississippi State Department of Health.

Here are some of the main questions we get and why we are having this class:

  • What food products CAN be made and sold under this law?
  • What food products CANNOT be made and sold under this law?
  • Where can cottage food items be sold?
  • What permits, licenses, or food safety training do I need?
  • How much product can I sell?
  • Do I have to label my products?
  • How do I store my products?
  • Is there a regulatory agency?

Attend this training to get all these things answered!
