Cottage Food Label Requirements in Utah (2026)

Cottage food rules in Utah — the whole program

Who can sell homemade food in Utah

Utah runs two entirely separate legal paths for home food production, and a producer must choose one, because the requirements are mutually exclusive. Path 1 is the Cottage Food Program: Utah Code Section 4-5-501 defines a 'cottage food operation' as a person who produces a 'cottage food product' - a nonpotentially hazardous baked good, jam, jelly, or other nonpotentially hazardous food - in a 'home kitchen', meaning a kitchen designed and intended for use by the residents of a home and used by a resident of that home for production. Section 4-5-501(4) requires the operator to register with the Utah Department of Agriculture and Food (UDAF) before operating, to hold a valid food handler's permit, and to package products with a label specified by the department in rule. The implementing rule is Utah Admin. Code R70-560, 'Inspection and Regulation of Cottage Food Production Operations', promulgated under Subsection 4-5-501(2). R70-560-3 requires department approval of each food before production begins, and, at the department's discretion, written confirmation from a department-approved food laboratory or process authority that the food is not potentially hazardous. R70-560-5 requires an inspection before registration is issued. Registration is issued as a food establishment registration under Rule R70-540. Path 2 is the Home Consumption and Homemade Food Act, Utah Code Title 4, Chapter 5a, originally enacted by Chapter 377, 2018 General Session (SB 144) and amended by Chapter 433, 2026 General Session, effective 5/6/2026. Section 4-5a-104(1) exempts a 'producer' from state, county, and city licensing, permitting, certification, inspection, packaging, and labeling requirements - except the label and disclosure duties in that same section - provided the homemade food or homemade food product is produced and sold within the state, sold directly to an 'informed final consumer', for personal or home consumption, and not excluded by Subsection 4-5a-105(1). An 'informed final consumer' is an individual who buys directly from the producer or the producer's designated representative, does not resell the product, and has been informed that the product is not certified, licensed, regulated, or inspected by the state. The practical trade-off: Chapter 5a permits a far wider range of foods, including refrigerated and time/temperature-controlled items, with no registration, no fee, and no inspection, but confines sales to direct transactions with an informed final consumer at a direct-to-sale location and bars resale. The Cottage Food Program is narrower on food type but permits sale to Utah retail food establishments for resale and requires a registration that can be displayed. Note two corrections to a common misstatement of Utah law: the cottage food registration is grounded in Utah Code 4-5-501, not in Chapter 5a, and the 2026 amendment (Chapter 433) is the current operative text of Chapter 5a.

What you may and may not sell

• HOME CONSUMPTION AND HOMEMADE FOOD ACT - Any homemade food product prepared in a private home kitchen that can be used, or prepared for use, as food or nonalcoholic drink, subject only to the exclusions in Subsection 4-5a-105(1); the statute sets no approved-product list, and Subsection 4-5a-105(3) bars the department from imposing by rule any additional limit, requirement, or restriction on a producer selling under this chapter
• HOME CONSUMPTION AND HOMEMADE FOOD ACT - Poultry and poultry products, where the producer slaughters no more than 1,000 birds per year in accordance with the USDA 1,000-bird exemption and follows the USDA FSIS guidance document on whether a poultry slaughter or processing operation is exempt from the Poultry Products Inspection Act

How much you may sell

No annual sales cap, revenue limit, or production volume limit exists on either path. Utah Code 4-5-501 and Utah Admin. Code R70-560 impose no dollar figure, and neither does the UDAF Cottage Food Establishment Application, the Permitted Cottage Food Products list, or the Checklist for Cottage Food Production. Utah Code Title 4, Chapter 5a likewise contains no cap; the constraints there are on food type (Section 4-5a-105), on the buyer being an informed final consumer, and on the sale being direct and in-state (Section 4-5a-104). What limits a Utah producer is the food category, the sales channel, and the registration and inspection duty on the Cottage Food path, not turnover.

Where you may sell

• COTTAGE FOOD PROGRAM - Direct to consumers. UDAF states products may only be sold within Utah, direct to consumer or to stores for resale
• COTTAGE FOOD PROGRAM - Farmers' markets, roadside stands, and other places at which the operator sells from a fixed permanent or temporary structure owned, rented, or leased by the operator; R70-560-5(4) requires a copy of the R70-540 registration to be displayed at each such location, and the registration itself to be displayed at the operation
• COTTAGE FOOD PROGRAM - Sale, or offer for sale, to a food establishment inside Utah for resale, permitted by R70-560-7(8) only if the food has not been subject to intervening storage or transfer, and a copy of the R70-540 registration must be kept on the premises of that food establishment
• COTTAGE FOOD PROGRAM - Not as an ingredient in a food service establishment's own prepared food: R70-560-8(2) and Utah Code 4-5-501(7) both bar a food service establishment from using a cottage food product as an ingredient in food it prepares and offers to the public
• COTTAGE FOOD PROGRAM - In-state only. Sales are confined to Utah, so interstate shipping is outside the program; UDAF's page states products may only be sold within Utah
• HOME CONSUMPTION AND HOMEMADE FOOD ACT - Direct sale to an informed final consumer at a 'direct-to-sale location', defined in Subsection 4-5a-102(4) as a farm, ranch, direct-to-sale farmers market, home, office, or any location agreed upon by both the producer (or the producer's designated representative) and the informed final consumer
• HOME CONSUMPTION AND HOMEMADE FOOD ACT - Through a 'designated representative', a person contracted by the producer to distribute, sell, deliver, hold, store, or offer for sale the producer's homemade food product; this is one of the 2026 amendments, and Subsection 4-5a-104(4)(b) leaves ownership with the producer unless the parties agree to share or transfer it
• HOME CONSUMPTION AND HOMEMADE FOOD ACT - Direct-to-sale farmers markets. Section 4-5a-103 requires that such a market include only products that have not been certified, licensed, regulated, or inspected by a state or local authority, and that where it is associated with a regulated farmers market as defined in Section 4-5-102, the direct-to-sale area be physically separated and marked with signs clearly indicating each area. Subsection 4-5a-103(3) exempts a direct-to-sale farmers market comprising only minor producers or minor-operated businesses from the first requirement
• HOME CONSUMPTION AND HOMEMADE FOOD ACT - Not for resale, and not to restaurants or commercial establishments: Subsection 4-5a-104(5)(a) forbids sale to, or use by, a restaurant or commercial establishment, with the single exception of raw, unprocessed fruit or vegetables. A 'commercial establishment' under Subsection 4-5a-102(1) is a wholesale or retail business that displays, sells, manufactures, processes, packs, holds, or stores food, drugs, devices, or cosmetics, and expressly excludes a direct-to-sale location and a direct-to-sale farmers market
• HOME CONSUMPTION AND HOMEMADE FOOD ACT - In-state only. Subsection 4-5a-104(1)(b)(i) conditions the exemption on the product being produced and sold within the state

Permit, registration and fees

Registration is handled by Utah Department of Agriculture and Food (UDAF), Regulatory Services Division, Cottage Food Production program. The Cottage Food Establishment Application (UDAF Form PRA CTG, Rev. 07/2026) gives the address as 4315 S 2700 W, TSOB South Bldg., Floor 2, Taylorsville, UT 84129-2128, phone (801) 982-2252, fax (385) 465-6023, and udaf-planreview@utah.gov, and directs the completed form to Support Services Staff at udaf-cottagefood@utah.gov. Registration is issued as a food establishment registration under Utah Admin. Code R70-540, per R70-560-5(2). Registration is required only on the Cottage Food path; a producer operating under Utah Code Title 4, Chapter 5a is exempt from state, county, and city licensing and permitting by Subsection 4-5a-104(1), but Subsection 4-5a-104(2) still requires compliance with municipal business license requirements under Section 10-1-203..

1. Decide which legal path applies, because the duties do not overlap: registration, department food approval, and inspection under Utah Code 4-5-501 and R70-560, or the unregistered direct-sale exemption under Utah Code Title 4, Chapter 5a
2. Obtain a valid food handler's permit for every person who will handle food. R70-560-4(1)(a) requires each operator to hold one, and UDAF's checklist directs applicants to get it from their local health department
3. Complete the Cottage Food Establishment Application (UDAF Form PRA CTG, Rev. 07/2026), checking each menu category to be produced: baked goods; cereals, trail mix or granola; dried fruits or chocolate-covered dried fruits; dry herbs or seasoning mixes; fruit jams, jellies or preserves; hard candies, freeze-dried candies or cotton candy; honey; nuts, nut mixes or nut brittles; popcorn; repackaging; roasted coffee beans; sourdough products; vanilla extract; vinegar or flavored vinegar
4. Attach recipes with ingredients, amounts, and preparation steps for every product to be produced; UDAF publishes a recipe template. Recipes outside the permitted-products list are rejected without review
5. Where required, obtain laboratory or process authority documentation. R70-560-3(1)(a) allows the department at its discretion to require written confirmation from a department-approved food laboratory or process authority that the food is not potentially hazardous; the application specifically requires pH results from an accredited laboratory for a homemade sourdough starter, and the permitted-products list sets the threshold at pH 4.0 or less from a certified laboratory
6. Submit the form and attachments to udaf-cottagefood@utah.gov and pay the fee. UDAF states applications will not be reviewed until payment and attachments have been submitted, and that submitting the application is not itself authorization to operate
7. Receive department approval of the foods to be produced. Under R70-560-3(1)(b) and (2), the operator must receive department approval before producing, and may sell only department-approved foods to the public
8. Prepare the home kitchen for the pre-operational inspection using UDAF's checklist: current food handler's permit available; gloves, hair restraint, sanitizer (disinfecting bleach or quaternary ammonium) and matching concentration test strips; sample labels meeting 21 CFR 101 and R70-560-6; samples of food-grade packaging; a separate refrigerator with thermometer running at 41 degrees F or less, for business use only; separate dry storage; an explainable warewashing procedure (two-compartment sink with sanitizer basin and air-dry rack, or an in-home dishwasher for wash and rinse followed by sanitizing in a sink or basin and air drying); and a written procedure for responding to vomiting or diarrheal events
9. Pass the pre-operational inspection. R70-560-5(1)(a) requires the department to inspect before issuing a registration, and the application states the owner or operator must be approved for a cottage food establishment permit and successfully pass a pre-operational inspection before commencing food operations
10. Receive and display the Certificate of Registration issued under R70-540, and display a copy at every farmers' market, roadside stand, or other fixed selling structure, per R70-560-5(4)

Fee: $100.00. The UDAF Fiscal Year 2027 Fee Schedule, as approved by the Legislature and updated as of July 1, 2026, lists under Regulatory Services / Food Establishment Registration the line 'Cottage - $100.00'. The same schedule separately lists Regulatory Services / Plan Review / 'Plan Review Cottage - $100.00', a Food Inspection late fee of $25.00, and Food Inspection citations at $500.00; whether a cottage food applicant pays both the $100.00 registration line and the $100.00 plan review line, or only one, is not stated in any source read. By comparison the schedule sets non-cottage food establishment registration at $250.00 (small), $500.00 (medium), $1,000.00 (large) and $1,250.00 (super). Fees are non-refundable and non-transferable, per the UDAF application form and R70-540-7(2). Registration fees are established under the statutory authority cited in R70-540-7(1). There is no registration fee at all on the Home Consumption and Homemade Food Act path, which requires no state registration.

Renewal: Annual, on a calendar-year cycle. R70-540-6 states that annual registration applications and fees are due December 31 of each year for the upcoming year and that all registrations expire on December 31 of each year. R70-540-7(1) provides that when the appropriate fee is not paid on or before December 31 the registration becomes delinquent and a penalty fee is added; the FY2027 fee schedule lists a Food Inspection late fee of $25.00. A new facility opening between January 1 and October 31 must register for that year; a new facility registering after November 1 is registered for the remainder of that year and the following calendar year. Registration is non-transferable, and a new registration is required within 60 days when ownership changes (R70-540-8(1)(b) and (c)).

Food safety training

A valid food handler's permit is mandatory on the Cottage Food path, for every person involved, not only the owner. R70-560-4(1)(a) requires the operation to ensure that each operator holds a valid food handler's permit; Utah Code 4-5-501(4)(b) states the operator shall hold one; the UDAF application repeats that all persons engaged in the cottage food operation must hold a valid food handler's permit; and UDAF's checklist directs applicants to obtain it from their local health department, which means the issuing body, course, and cost are set locally rather than by UDAF. Being able to show the current permit is an item on the pre-operational inspection checklist. No additional state food safety course, examination, or training hour requirement appears in Section 4-5-501, R70-560, or the UDAF cottage food documents. No training requirement of any kind attaches to the Home Consumption and Homemade Food Act path, where Subsection 4-5a-104(1) exempts producers from state, county, and city certification requirements. Beyond the permit, UDAF imposes standing conduct rules in place of further training: excluding anyone with signs of illness, open wounds, or sores from the home kitchen during preparation; excluding all pets; maintaining personal hygiene and appropriate outer clothing, with no open-toe shoes, shorts, or jewelry, and hair restrained; no smoking, eating, or drinking in the kitchen during preparation; and cleaning and sanitizing all food-contact surfaces before preparation and as needed during operation.

Inspection

Yes on the Cottage Food path, and it is not a one-off. R70-560-5(1) requires the department to inspect a cottage food production operation before issuing a registration, if the department has reason to believe the operation is violating the rule or operating in an unsanitary manner, and at a frequency determined by the department. The rule sets no stated interval for that routine frequency. The UDAF page describes a departmental representative contacting the applicant to schedule a food safety inspection, and the application form conditions commencing operations on being approved for the permit and passing the pre-operational inspection. Substantive standards checked flow from R70-560-4: finished and cleanable surfaces; acceptable sanitary standards and practices; storage separate from domestic storage, including refrigerated storage; annual water testing if the home is not on a public water system; and keeping a sample of each food for 14 days labelled with production date and time. R70-560-4(2) requires compliance with Rule R70-530, the Utah Food Protection Rule, except that a cottage food operation need not have commercial surfaces such as stainless steel counters or cabinets, a commercial-grade sink, dishwasher, or oven, a separate kitchen, or submitted plans and specifications before construction or remodelling - the same four exemptions Utah Code 4-5-501(3) forbids the department to impose by rule. R70-560-4(3) prohibits conducting domestic activities in the kitchen while producing food, pets in the kitchen, free-roaming pets anywhere in the residence, washing pet cages or pans in the kitchen, and entry of non-employees into the kitchen during production. R70-560-4(4) requires production to follow the recipe submitted for approval, requires any process authority recommendations or stipulations to be followed, and requires the recipe and those recommendations to be kept available in the facility for department review. UDAF's checklist adds that products containing any of the nine major allergens must be prepared so as not to contaminate products without them, that all food, equipment, and single-service articles be stored indoors at least six inches above the floor, that multi-use equipment be corrosion-resistant, non-absorbent, smooth, easily cleanable, and durable, with wood restricted to non-absorbent hardwood surfaces such as cutting boards, and that nothing be stored or prepared in bedrooms, toilet rooms or their vestibules, or garages, except that food may be stored in an enclosed garage in a self-contained refrigerator or freezer with the garage door kept closed when not in use. On the Home Consumption and Homemade Food Act path there is no inspection: Subsection 4-5a-104(1) exempts the producer from inspection, and Subsection 4-5a-104(3)(b)(ii) requires the label itself to disclose that the product was processed and prepared without state or local inspection. That exemption is not absolute - Subsection 4-5a-105(2) preserves the department's authority over meat and poultry inspection at federal-equivalent standards, does not impede a foodborne illness investigation by the health authority, and does not prevent a state agency from assisting, consulting, or inspecting when a producer requests it.

What your city or county may add

Jurisdiction is split, and the split is written into the law. Under Utah Code 4-5-501(6) and R70-560-8(1), a local health department does not have jurisdiction to regulate the production of food at a cottage food operation that complies with the rule, so long as the products are not offered to the public for consumption on the premises - but it does have jurisdiction to investigate a cottage food production operation as part of any investigation into the cause of a foodborne illness outbreak. What remains local in practice is the food handler's permit, which UDAF's checklist directs applicants to obtain from their local health department. On the Home Consumption and Homemade Food Act path, Subsection 4-5a-104(2) states that notwithstanding the licensing exemption, a producer shall comply with business license requirements in accordance with Section 10-1-203, meaning a municipal business license may still be required even though no state permit is. Utah's own guidance further suggests registering the business with the state through secure.utah.gov, and recommends checking with an insurer about the effect of a home-based business on homeowner's liability coverage. Zoning, home-occupation permits, and any covenant or lease restriction on operating a food business from a dwelling are governed by city or county ordinance and were not covered by any source read here; neither UDAF document mentions zoning.
