What Louisiana legally requires on a cottage food label
Every Louisiana 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 Louisiana-mandated legal disclosure. The disclosure is the part most bakers get wrong — so our generator fills it in for you, verbatim from current Louisiana rules:
This food was not produced in a licensed or regulated facility.
Louisiana'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.

Louisiana cottage food label FAQ
What must a Louisiana cottage food label include?
A compliant Louisiana 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 Louisiana-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 Louisiana?
Louisiana requires this exact disclosure on the label: "This food was not produced in a licensed or regulated facility." You never type it — the generator applies the current Louisiana disclosure for you the moment you pick your state.
Can I sell TCS or refrigerated cottage food items in Louisiana?
No — Louisiana'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 Louisiana doesn't permit it, so you don't print a non-compliant label.
Is this Louisiana cottage food label generator really free?
Yes. Building and previewing your Louisiana-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).
