In Georgia, freeze-dried foods are not allowed to be produced and sold under the Cottage Food Laws. The Georgia Department of Agriculture permits specific food items under these laws, such as baked goods, jams, jellies, and other non-potentially hazardous foods, but freeze-dried products are not included on the approved list. For any processing methods beyond the allowed scope, such as freeze-drying, you would need to explore commercial kitchen licensing.

as it being an ingredient I have not seen in ANY online state info about NOT using them so you should be just fine. As long as it is not time or temp sensitive
