Oregon cottage food label requirements

Oregon's Cottage Food Exemption lets home kitchens sell certain non-perishable foods retail (in person or online) and wholesale to grocers/retailers without a license, capped at $52,700 in annual gross sales. The principal display panel must carry the exact homemade/not-inspected disclosure plus full ingredient, allergen, address, and net-quantity information.

Required home-kitchen disclosure

“This product is homemade, is not prepared in an inspected food establishment, and must be stored and displayed separately if merchandised by a retailer.”

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.
