What Maine legally requires on a cottage food label
Every Maine 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, and your name and address as the producer. Maine does not mandate a specific cottage-food disclosure statement, so the generator lays out those required fields for you without adding a disclosure line.
Maine'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.

Maine cottage food label FAQ
What must a Maine cottage food label include?
A compliant Maine 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, and the producer's name and address. Maine does not mandate a specific cottage-food disclosure statement, so the generator lays out those required fields for you automatically as you type.
What is the required cottage food disclosure in Maine?
Maine does not mandate a specific cottage-food disclosure statement on the label. The generator simply lays out the required fields (product name, ingredients, net weight, allergens, and your name and address) without adding a disclosure line.
Can I sell TCS or refrigerated cottage food items in Maine?
No — Maine'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 Maine doesn't permit it, so you don't print a non-compliant label.

Yes. Building and previewing your Maine-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).
