Cottage Food Label Maker

Cottage food labels usually need your product name, your name and address, the ingredients, the allergens and your state's home-kitchen statement. Most cottage food laws don't ask for Nutrition Facts unless you make a nutrition claim, but every state words it differently, so check yours. Our maker writes the ingredient list and allergens from your recipe, and the full nutrition label when you need it.
