Cottage Food Labels

Nebraska cottage food label requirements

Nebraska requires food-safety training and registration with the Department of Agriculture. Labels (and any advertising) must carry the exact statement that the food was prepared in a kitchen not subject to regulation and inspection and may contain allergens; sales are direct-to-consumer only, with no online sales of TCS foods and no retail/wholesale.

Required home-kitchen disclosure

“This food was prepared in a kitchen that is not subject to regulation and inspection by the regulatory authority and may contain allergens.”

This is a conservative disclosure based on your state's rule. Confirm the exact wording with your state before printing.

Scaling past cottage food?

Selling into retail or wholesale, shipping across state lines, or making a claim like “low sugar” usually means your product needs a full FDA Nutrition Facts panel, not just a cottage label. Panelry builds one from your recipe with exact FDA rounding for $9, no subscription.
