New York's Home Processor (cottage food) exemption applies in Richmond County under NY Ag & Markets 1 NYCRR §276. Allowed low-risk foods include baked goods, jams, and granola, sold directly and under $50,000/year.
Under NY Agriculture & Markets Law Article 20-C and 1 NYCRR §276, home-based producers of low-risk, shelf-stable foods are exempt from commercial kitchen licensing. Permitted products include breads, cookies, candy, jams, jellies, granola, spice blends, and dried herbs. Meat, dairy, and refrigerated items are prohibited. Annual gross sales capped at $50,000. Producers must register with NYS Ag & Markets, label products with 'Not Subject to New York State Inspection,' and sell direct-to-consumer (farmers markets, own website, in-person). NYC DOHMH retains authority over any retail food activity outside the exemption.
Unregistered or out-of-scope production: NYS Ag & Markets fines $200–$1,000; NYC DOHMH can issue separate citations if retail rules violated.
