Cottage food sales in New Rochelle follow NYS Home Processor (20-C exemption) rules administered by NY Dept of Agriculture & Markets. Low-risk baked goods, jams, and similar items can be made at home and sold.
NY Ag & Markets Home Processor exemption allows non-potentially-hazardous foods (breads, cookies, most jams/jellies, dry mixes, candies) from a home kitchen after registration. No dairy, meat, or refrigerated foods allowed. New Rochelle does not add a separate cottage-food license, but home occupation zoning still applies.
