Cottage food operations are protected under Florida Statute 500.80 and allowed in Winter Park homes. Up to 250,000 dollars in annual gross sales of approved non-hazardous foods is permitted without a food license.
FL 500.80 allows Floridians to make and sell approved shelf-stable foods (baked goods, jams, dry mixes, candies, granola, popcorn, dried pasta) from their home kitchen. Labeling must disclose cottage food status, address, and allergens. Products can be sold direct, online with in-state delivery, and at events. Winter Park cannot prohibit cottage food operations and the state preempts most local regulation.
Contact your local code enforcement office for specific penalty information.
