Selling homemade baked goods and other non-hazardous foods from a Galloway Township home is governed by New Jersey's statewide Cottage Food Operator rule (N.J.A.C. 8:24-11). You must hold a state Cottage Food Operator Permit from the NJ Department of Health, cap sales at $50,000 a year, and label products with
New Jersey issues Cottage Food Operator Permits at the state level, not through Galloway Township. A permit ($100, valid two years) is required to produce, distribute, or sell cottage foods, and the operator must hold a Food Manager certification. Only non-potentially-hazardous foods (breads, cookies, cakes without cream fillings, etc.) qualify. Gross annual sales may not exceed $50,000, and sales must be direct to consumers. Each product must carry the state disclosure that the kitchen is uninspected.
Selling cottage food without the state permit, exceeding the $50,000 cap, or omitting the required label violates N.J.A.C. 8:24-11 and can lead to enforcement action by the NJ Department of Health.
