Cottage Food Law Labeling Requirements

Cottage Food Labeling Requirements in Mississippi

Cottage food labeling requirements in Mississippi — everything that must appear on your label, required cottage food statements, allergen disclosures, font size rules, and privacy options for your home address.

What Must Appear on Your Label

Every product sold under Mississippi's cottage food law must include all of the following on its label:

  1. 1 Product name
  2. 2 Producer name and address
  3. 3 Ingredients in descending order by weight
  4. 4 Net weight or net volume
  5. 5 Allergen statement
  6. 6 Cottage food statement

Required Cottage Food Statement

Mississippi requires the following statement to appear verbatim on every label. Copy this exactly — no paraphrasing.

Required Statement
"Made in a home kitchen not inspected by the Mississippi State Department of Health."

Nutrition Facts Panel

✅
You do not need a Nutrition Facts panel.
Cottage food producers are explicitly exempt from FDA mandatory nutrition labeling. You may add one voluntarily, but Mississippi does not require it. Save that time for baking.

Official Labeling Requirements

Always verify labeling rules directly with your state agency — requirements can change.
