What North Dakota legally requires on a cottage food label

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

This product is made in a home kitchen that is not inspected by the state or local health department

North Dakota also permits certain time/temperature-controlled (TCS, refrigerated) cottage foods, with a required safe-handling block — toggle "Contains a TCS item" in the generator and we add it for you.

North Dakota cottage food label FAQ

What must a North Dakota cottage food label include?

A compliant North Dakota 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 North Dakota-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 North Dakota?

North Dakota requires this exact disclosure on the label: "This product is made in a home kitchen that is not inspected by the state or local health department" You never type it — the generator applies the current North Dakota disclosure for you the moment you pick your state.

Can I sell TCS or refrigerated cottage food items in North Dakota?

Yes — North Dakota permits time/temperature-controlled (TCS, "needs refrigeration") cottage foods, subject to that state's safe-handling and registration rules. When you toggle "Contains a TCS item" in the generator, we add the North Dakota-required safe-handling block and surface any extra fields North Dakota needs (for example a registration number) before the label is complete.
