Arizona Cottage Foods Laws [ Food Packaging Labeling Requirements] FULL TUTORIAL
Welcome to our in-depth tutorial on Arizona Cottage Food Laws, with a special focus on food product labeling requirements. This video is designed to guide home-based food entrepreneurs through the necessary steps to ensure their products are labeled correctly and legally in Arizona.
We begin with the essential elements of a compliant label, starting with the name and address of your cottage food operation. This transparency is critical for building trust with consumers and meeting state regulations. Next, we cover the requirement to include the common or usual name of your product, ensuring it is clear and identifiable.
A crucial aspect of labeling is the ingredients list, which must be in descending order of predominance by weight. This not only informs consumers but also ensures compliance with state laws. We also emphasize the importance of including the net quantity of contents, a detail that helps consumers understand the amount of product they are purchasing.
A unique requirement for Arizona is the inclusion of the statement: "This product was produced in a home kitchen that may process common food allergens and is not subject to public health inspection." This disclaimer is vital for informing consumers about the production environment and potential allergen exposure.
Additionally, we discuss the federal requirement for allergen information, which must be clearly stated on the label. This protects consumers with allergies and ensures your compliance with both state and federal regulations.
Throughout the video, we provide practical tips and examples to help you create effective and compliant labels. From design suggestions to common mistakes to avoid, this tutorial will equip you with the knowledge you need to label your cottage food products correctly.
