Cottage food labeling requirements in Georgia

Informational only — not legal advice. Verify every requirement with the official agency cited below before producing or selling food.

Each package of cottage food sold in Georgia must include:

  • Business name, address, and telephone number of the cottage food operator
  • A GDA-issued identification number may be used in place of the address
  • Statement in at least 10-point font: "This product was produced at a residential property that is exempt from state inspection. This product may contain allergens."
  • Where the information goes: a label on packaged items or bulk containers, a placard at the point of sale for unpackaged items, or the webpage for online sales
  • Telephone or custom orders: the seller may instead tell the consumer the item was made at a residential property exempt from state inspection and may contain allergens, and must provide the other information on request
  • Items sold by a third-party vendor must be displayed in a separate, conspicuously labeled section or case
