Anderson has no separate cottage-food ordinance. Home food sales in Anderson follow Indiana's Home Based Vendor law (IC 16-42-5.3): sell non-hazardous foods you make at your primary residence direct to the end consumer, with a food-handler certificate and a required label.
Selling homemade food from an Anderson residence is governed by Indiana's Home Based Vendor (cottage food) statute, IC 16-42-5.3, administered by the Indiana Department of Health. Vendors may sell only non-TCS (shelf-stable) foods made, grown, or raised at their primary residence, direct to the end consumer, in person, by phone, or online with in-state delivery. Each vendor must hold an ANSI-accredited food-handler certificate and label products with the required disclosure. Anderson still applies its home-occupation zoning standards to the household activity.
Selling home-produced food without the required label or food-handler certificate, or selling prohibited TCS foods, violates state law enforced by the Indiana Department of Health.
