Georgia requires a Cottage Food License from the GA Department of Agriculture for home-baked goods sold to the public. Duluth follows state rules with no additional local preemption.
Under GA Dept of Agriculture rules (O.C.G.A. §26-2-25), cottage food operators must obtain a Cottage Food License, pass an initial home kitchen inspection, complete a food safety course, and label products with name, address, and ingredients. Allowed foods include baked goods, jams, granola, and candy; meat, dairy, and low-acid canned goods are prohibited. Duluth requires an occupation tax certificate in addition to the state license.
Operating without a state Cottage Food License can result in enforcement action by GDA; local enforcement handles zoning compliance.
