Permitted products include baked goods, jams/jellies, honey, dried herbs, fruit pies, candies, granola, trail mix, and dehydrated fruits. Prohibited products include anything requiring refrigeration: meats, seafood, dairy, acidified foods (salsa, pickles), low-acid canned goods, and pet food. Products must be labeled with: producer name and address, ingredient list, allergen statement, net weight, and the statement "Made in a cottage food operation that is not subject to Florida's food safety regulations." Sales channels include farmers markets, roadside stands, fairs, online with shipping within Florida, and direct delivery. Local governments including Volusia County, Daytona Beach, DeLand, NSB, Ormond, and Deltona cannot prohibit cottage food operations under FL §500.80(8) express preemption.
Selling prohibited potentially hazardous foods: FDACS enforcement, cease-and-desist, possible criminal charges under FL §500.172. Exceeding $250K cap: requires licensed commercial kitchen. Labeling violations: warnings then $50-$500 fines.
