Florida Statute 500.80 allows cottage food operations to produce and sell certain non-potentially-hazardous foods from home kitchens up to $250,000 annually without a food establishment license. Permitted products include baked goods, candies, jams, dried fruits, granola, and similar items. Products must be labeled with the operation name, address, ingredients, allergens, net weight, and the required cottage food disclaimer statement. Sales must be direct to consumers. The City of Hollywood requires a Business Tax Receipt for home-based businesses. No additional city food permit is required for cottage food operations complying with state law.
Exceeding sales caps, selling prohibited items, or improper labeling violate state law. Operating without a BTR is a local violation.
