Utah's Home Consumption and Homemade Food Act (UT §4-5-9.5) is one of the most permissive cottage food laws in the U.S. with no revenue cap and no registration for most shelf-stable foods sold direct-to-consumer.
Under Utah Code §4-5-9.5 (Home Consumption and Homemade Food Act) and SB 144 (2018), Utah imposes no revenue cap on cottage food sales and allows direct sale of most non-potentially-hazardous foods (baked goods, jams, jellies, candies, dried herbs, granola, dry mixes) without health department registration. The 2021 amendments (HB 94) expanded allowed products to include certain refrigerated and home-produced poultry items with labeling. Products must be labeled with the producer's name and address, product name, ingredients and allergens, and the disclaimer 'HOME PRODUCED: This product is home produced and processed and the production area has not been inspected by the Utah Department of Agriculture and Food.' Sales are limited to direct-to-consumer (no wholesale/retail); farmers markets, roadside stands, and online with local delivery in Utah are all allowed. Provo Code and Orem zoning permit cottage food as a home occupation in all residential zones as long as customer traffic and signage rules are met. Utah County Health Department may inspect upon complaint.
Selling excluded potentially hazardous foods (raw dairy, meat, unpasteurized juice): cease and desist, Class B misdemeanor under UT §4-5-701. Labeling violations: warnings then $100-$500 fines. Expanding to wholesale: requires commercial kitchen and full UDAF licensing.
