This is an FDA labeling rule that applies in Utah and every other state. Quickly Cottage expands these automatically from our branded ingredient database.

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