What must a cottage food label include in Utah?
A Utah cottage food label generally needs the product name, net weight, the full ingredient list in descending order by weight, an allergen statement, your business name and address, and the statement “Home Produced”. Rules can vary by food type and sales channel — confirm with your state authority.
Do I need a Nutrition Facts panel to sell cottage food in Utah?
Usually not, unless you make a nutrient claim (like “low sugar”) or exceed your state’s cottage food limits. Many sellers add one anyway because stores and customers ask for it. MakeFoodLabel generates the FDA panel from your recipe if you need it.
Where does the “not inspected / home kitchen” wording come from?
From Utah’s cottage food law — Utah Admin. Code R70-560-6 (cottage food labeling), official text reproduced at. Cottage food law changes often, so verify the current wording with your authority before printing.
