Utah Home Consumption and Homemade Food Act allows broad cottage food sales with minimal registration.
Utah has one of the nation's most permissive cottage food laws. The Home Consumption and Homemade Food Act (Utah Code 4-5-9.5) allows producers to sell most non-potentially-hazardous foods (baked goods, jams, dry mixes, candy) directly to consumers without a kitchen inspection, up to 10,000 dollars annual sales (higher with registration). Labels must state the food is home-prepared and not inspected. Some products (canned low-acid foods, meat) require additional licensing. West Jordan business license is still required.
