What Minnesota legally requires on a cottage food label
Every Minnesota 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 Minnesota-mandated legal disclosure. The disclosure is the part most bakers get wrong — so our generator fills it in for you, verbatim from current Minnesota rules:
These products are homemade and not subject to state inspection.
Minnesota'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.

Minnesota cottage food label FAQ
What must a Minnesota cottage food label include?
A compliant Minnesota 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 Minnesota-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 Minnesota?
Minnesota requires this exact disclosure on the label: "These products are homemade and not subject to state inspection." You never type it — the generator applies the current Minnesota disclosure for you the moment you pick your state.
Can I sell TCS or refrigerated cottage food items in Minnesota?
No — Minnesota'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 Minnesota doesn't permit it, so you don't print a non-compliant label.
