Frequently asked questions
What does a Puerto Rico cottage food label need to include?
Every Puerto Rico 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. Quickly Cottage adds all of this automatically.
What is the annual sales cap for cottage food in Puerto Rico?
Puerto Rico does not currently publish a fixed annual sales cap for cottage food producers — check the full Puerto Rico guide for the latest details.
Where can I sell cottage food products made in Puerto Rico?
Permitted sales venues vary by product and permit type in Puerto Rico — see the full Puerto Rico cottage food law guide for specifics.
Do I need to list sub-ingredients from a packaged mix on my Puerto Rico 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 Puerto Rico and every other state. Quickly Cottage expands these automatically from our branded ingredient database.
Can I use Canva or Word to make my Puerto Rico cottage food label?
You can design the visual layout in Canva or Word, but neither can auto-generate your ingredient list or detect allergens. You'd need to compile all of that manually. Quickly Cottage handles it automatically for Puerto Rico and all 50 states.
