Frequently asked questions

What is the annual sales cap for cottage food in Hawaii?

Where can I sell cottage food products made in Hawaii?
In Hawaii, cottage food producers can sell through: Farmers markets, Events & festivals, Online orders, Retail stores, Wholesale, and Restaurants.
Do I need to list sub-ingredients from a packaged mix on my Hawaii cottage food label?
Yes. If you use a packaged ingredient like a Betty Crocker cake mix or Ghirardelli chocolate, you must list its sub-ingredients on your label, in the correct order. This is an FDA labeling rule that applies in Hawaii and every other state. Quickly Cottage expands these automatically from our branded ingredient database.
Can I use Canva or Word to make my Hawaii cottage food label?
You can design the visual layout in Canva or Word, but neither can auto-generate your ingredient list, detect allergens, or add Hawaii's required disclosure statement. You'd need to compile all of that manually. Quickly Cottage handles it automatically for Hawaii and all 50 states.
