What Hawaii legally requires on a cottage food label

Every Hawaii 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 Hawaii-mandated legal disclosure. The disclosure is the part most bakers get wrong — so our generator fills it in for you, verbatim from current Hawaii rules:

Made in a home kitchen not routinely inspected by the Department of Health.

Hawaii'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.

Hawaii cottage food label FAQ

What must a Hawaii cottage food label include?

A compliant Hawaii 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 Hawaii-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 Hawaii?

Hawaii requires this exact disclosure on the label: "Made in a home kitchen not routinely inspected by the Department of Health." You never type it — the generator applies the current Hawaii disclosure for you the moment you pick your state.

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

No — Hawaii'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 Hawaii doesn't permit it, so you don't print a non-compliant label.

Is this Hawaii cottage food label generator really free?

Yes. Building and previewing your Hawaii-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).
