Florida's Cottage Food Operations Act preempts local regulation, allowing home production of non-potentially hazardous foods up to a statewide gross sales limit.
Fla. Stat. 500.80 authorizes cottage food operations to produce, package, and sell non-potentially hazardous foods (baked goods, jams, candies, dry herbs) from an unlicensed home kitchen. The statute caps annual gross sales at $250,000 and expressly preempts local government regulation: a county or municipality may not require a license, permit, or fee for cottage food operations or prohibit them in residential zones. Sales may occur direct-to-consumer, online, by mail, and at farmers markets.
Operating outside statutory product categories or above the sales cap subjects operators to enforcement by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, including stop-sale orders and fines.
