Pets in a microbakery kitchen in Jackson County?
Minnesota cottage-food registration does not write a pet-room rule. MDA still expects a sanitary kitchen while you produce.
What the rule actually means
Cottage path first — then any inspected path
Cottage / exemption path
Minn. Stat. §28A.152 does not mention pets. Registration is with MDA. Keep pets out of the kitchen during production as ordinary GMP.
County file restates the state baseline
No specific state cottage food pet restriction; good sanitation practices required.
Do not confuse this with Minnesota’s pet-food / pet-treat registration track.
