Pets in a microbakery kitchen in Iberia Parish?
Louisiana cottage-food materials treat pets as a keep-them-out-of-the-kitchen-while-you-bake rule.
What the rule actually means
Cottage path first — then any inspected path
Cottage / exemption path
La. R.S. §40:4.13 is the cottage-food statute. LDH guidance and parish notes commonly require animals out of the food-prep area during production. They do not require a second kitchen.

Not specified in state law
Parishes administer some food programs. Do not invent a parish pet ban without a published checklist.
