What Arkansas legally requires on a cottage food label

Every Arkansas cottage food label must carry the product name, the ingredients in descending order by weight, the net weight, a “Contains” allergen statement for any FDA major allergens, your name and address as the producer, and the Arkansas-mandated legal disclosure. The disclosure is the part most bakers get wrong — so our generator fills it in for you, verbatim from current Arkansas rules:

This product was produced in a private residence that is exempt from state licensing and inspection. This product may contain allergens.

Arkansas's cottage food path is limited to shelf-stable goods, so refrigerated (TCS) items aren't allowed under the exemption. The generator flags it if you toggle TCS, so you don't print a non-compliant label.

Arkansas cottage food label FAQ

What must a Arkansas cottage food label include?

A compliant Arkansas cottage food label needs the product name, the ingredients in descending order by weight, the net weight (oz and/or grams), the "Contains" allergen statement for any FDA major allergens, the producer's name and address, and the Arkansas-required legal disclosure. Our free generator fills in the disclosure for you and lays out the rest automatically as you type.

What is the required cottage food disclosure in Arkansas?

Arkansas requires this exact disclosure on the label: "This product was produced in a private residence that is exempt from state licensing and inspection. This product may contain allergens." You never type it — the generator applies the current Arkansas disclosure for you the moment you pick your state.

Can I sell TCS or refrigerated cottage food items in Arkansas?

No — Arkansas's cottage food path is limited to shelf-stable goods, so TCS items that need refrigeration are not allowed under the cottage food exemption. If you toggle "Contains a TCS item" the generator will flag that Arkansas doesn't permit it, so you don't print a non-compliant label.

Is this Arkansas cottage food label generator really free?

Yes. Building and previewing your Arkansas-compliant label is free with no account. CottageOps is free through 2026 — no credit card — and when you're ready to download or print the full-resolution label you just claim your free CottageOps account. In 2027 it's a flat $19/mo (or $190/yr).
