Cottage food operations in Temple Terrace are protected under FL §500.80 (updated by HB 663 in 2021) allowing home production of non-hazardous foods with sales up to $250,000 per year without a state food license or commercial kitchen.
FL §500.80 Cottage Food Law permits home kitchens to produce baked goods, candies, jams, jellies, dry mixes, honey, granola, and similar shelf-stable items. Sales allowed online, by mail, at farmers markets, and direct to consumers statewide (the 2021 update removed the prior in-person-only restriction). Products must be labeled with producer name, address, ingredients, allergens, and a Made in a cottage food operation disclaimer. No hazardous foods (meat, dairy, canned vegetables) are allowed. Temple Terrace cannot require additional cottage food permits per state preemption, but a BTR is still needed if gross sales meet business-tax thresholds.
