Cottage Food Law
Idaho Cottage Food Law (Idaho Code Section 37-119, effective 2013, expanded 2022): Allows home-based food businesses to sell certain non-potentially-hazardous foods directly to consumers without a state license. No annual revenue cap. Allowed products: baked goods, candy, jams, jellies, dried goods, non-alcoholic beverages, certain other shelf-stable foods. Sales must be direct-to-consumer (markets, fairs, from home). Labels must include producer name, address, list of ingredients, and 'This product was made in a home kitchen that is not licensed or inspected by the Idaho State Department of Agriculture.' Idaho expanded its cottage food exemptions in 2022. Sales must be direct-to-consumer — no online sales with shipping. Idaho does not impose additional cottage food licensing beyond labeling requirements.
