Arizona's cottage food law allows Chandler residents to produce and sell homemade shelf-stable foods without a health department permit. Registration with the state and food handler training are required under ARS 36-1692.
Under Arizona's cottage food law (ARS 36-1692), Chandler residents can produce and sell non-potentially hazardous foods from their home kitchen. Operators must register with the Arizona Cottage Food Program and complete a food handler training course. Allowed products include baked goods, candies, jams, and dried foods. Arizona does not require home kitchen inspections and has no annual sales cap. Sales can be direct to consumers, online with delivery, and through retail outlets including grocery stores. Chandler home occupation rules still apply, so cottage food operations should not generate excessive traffic.
Selling potentially hazardous foods or failing to register with the state can result in enforcement by the Arizona Department of Health Services. City home occupation violations may also apply.
