California AB 1616 and AB 1240 allow cottage food operations from residential kitchens. Tuolumne County permits Class A (direct sales) and Class B (indirect sales) cottage food operations with registration through the county Environmental Health Division.
Under California's Cottage Food Law (AB 1616/AB 1240, Health & Safety Code §114365-114365.7), Tuolumne County residents can produce and sell approved non-potentially-hazardous foods from their home kitchen. Class A operations sell directly to consumers (farmers markets, from the home) with annual sales up to $75,000 and require self-certification registration. Class B operations sell indirectly (to stores, restaurants) and require a county Environmental Health permit with kitchen inspection. Cottage food is distinct from a home occupation under county zoning — different rules apply. Approved foods include baked goods, jams, honey, dried fruits, candied nuts, and similar shelf-stable items. Tuolumne County Environmental Health at 209-533-5633 handles registration.
Operating without registration: Environmental Health enforcement. Selling non-approved foods: Health & Safety Code violation.
