What Indiana legally requires on a cottage food label
Every Indiana 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 Indiana-mandated legal disclosure. The disclosure is the part most bakers get wrong — so our generator fills it in for you, verbatim from current Indiana rules:
This product is home produced and processed and the production area has not been inspected by the Indiana Department of Health. NOT FOR RESALE.
Indiana'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.

Indiana cottage food label FAQ
What must a Indiana cottage food label include?
A compliant Indiana 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 Indiana-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 Indiana?
Indiana requires this exact disclosure on the label: "This product is home produced and processed and the production area has not been inspected by the Indiana Department of Health. NOT FOR RESALE." You never type it — the generator applies the current Indiana disclosure for you the moment you pick your state.
Can I sell TCS or refrigerated cottage food items in Indiana?
No — Indiana'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 Indiana doesn't permit it, so you don't print a non-compliant label.

Yes. Building and previewing your Indiana-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).
