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
