California's Cottage Food Law (AB 1616/AB 1144) allows sale of approved non-hazardous food from home kitchens. Class A (direct sale) and Class B (indirect sale) permits available. County health registration required.
Pomona allows cottage food operations under state cottage food laws. Permitted products typically include baked goods, jams, candies, dried herbs, and other shelf-stable items. Potentially hazardous foods requiring refrigeration are generally excluded. Annual revenue caps typically range from $25,000 to $75,000 depending on state law. Products must be labeled with ingredients, allergens, and "Made in a Home Kitchen" disclaimer. No commercial kitchen or health inspection required for qualifying operations. Sales may be limited to direct-to-consumer channels (farmers markets, online with local delivery).
Selling non-permitted foods: cease and desist. Exceeding revenue caps: commercial kitchen requirement. Labeling violations: warnings then fines.
