Great information! However the sound glitch at around 6:05 was very loud & confusing, just make sure you double check your finishing product of your video. Also a better balance with your voiceover and the “background” music is needed. You have great diction and articulation so I was able to understand you, but the background music was too loud.
Anyways great video overall! You just got a new Subscriber 😊

[@lorifoster8204]

Thank you so much for this information! It’s a bit confusing when you’re just getting started but you have helped out so much!

Are the requirements the same if you are selling funnel cakes in a pop up tent

[@lynellewilliams1125]

Very informative videos on this channel. I have found all of your information very helpful. @cottagefoodlaws I have a very specific question: I want to turn my garage into a commercial kitchen. Is that allowed in NC? Thanks a bunch!

[@Kiki-AndBeyond]

Hey! I'm looking to do the same. Have you found any additional information on this?

[@devararajitha]

what applications do I need to fill to get a permit for home food processing. Can you please share the link and will that be the same application to register the label as well? Thanks!

[@amandabeach2890]

What about candied fruit and homemade salsa? I was told I couldn't sale either one from home

[@alejandrorizos687]

So I can make cookies out of my home and sell them. Also sell them at farmers markets following by the market guidelines. And I can do this without any license and etc?

North Carolina stands out among states with its unique approach to home food processors. Unlike other states with specific laws overriding federal restrictions on home-based food sales, North Carolina lacks such legislation. Consequently, their home food program operates in a legal gray area, potentially subject to shutdown. Despite this, the North Carolina Department of Agriculture has long supported and educated home-based food businesses, showing more leniency compared to states with formal cottage food laws.
The state’s program imposes several restrictions and involves a lengthy application process. Approved home processors enjoy significant flexibility regarding what, where, and how much they can sell. A key restriction is the absolute prohibition of pets in the home, even during nighttime. Applicants must draft a business plan and, depending on their products, might need to undergo product testing or complete an acidified foods course. Following application submission, a home inspection is required before business operations can commence. While the application and inspection are free, additional requirements might incur costs reaching into the hundreds of dollars.
Once established, home processors in North Carolina can sell unlimited quantities of non-perishable goods at any location, though some items may require lab testing for approval.

Good information.
Looking into starting a lemonade stand, but I won’t be able to do food prep from home. Do I need to have a commessary in that case?

[@CottageFoodsLaws]

only if the items you want to make are not on the approved list

[@bluewater454]

@@CottageFoodsLaws Even cottage food items need some kitchen prep. If my home doesn’t qualify for department of health approval don’t I need a commissary in North Carolina?
