Food labeling by county — what goes on your label?

u/Crosodo Community Team·7/1/2026·0 views
Every cottage food item you sell in Orange County has to be labeled — your business name, the product name, allergen callouts, and New York's required "made in a home kitchen" disclaimer. Get the label wrong and you lose the protection the cottage food law gives you. We put together a plain-English, label-by-label guide for New York — the required elements, the exact disclaimer wording, the 9 federal allergens, and a copy-paste template: https://crosodo.com/blog/new-york-cottage-food-labeling Questions for local bakers: • How are you handling labels in Orange County? Anything your county or health department asks for beyond the state minimum? • Does anyone have a Canva template with pre-formatted New York labels (correct disclaimer, allergen section, the right font size)? If you do, please share it here so other bakers can use it.
