Frequently asked questions

What does a Oregon cottage food label need to include?

Every Oregon cottage food label needs the product name, a complete ingredient list in descending order by weight, all 9 FDA major allergens, net weight, your business name, and your business address.

Where can I sell cottage food products made in Oregon?

In Oregon, cottage food producers can sell through: Direct from your home, Farmers markets, Online sales, and Retail.

Do I need to list sub-ingredients from a packaged mix on my Oregon 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 Oregon and every other state. Quickly Cottage expands these automatically from our branded ingredient database.

Can I use Canva or Word to make my Oregon 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 Oregon's required disclosure statement. You'd need to compile all of that manually. Quickly Cottage handles it automatically for Oregon and all 50 states.
