What must a cottage food label include in Wyoming?
A Wyoming 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 “this food was made in a home kitchen, is not regulated or inspected and may contain allergens”. 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 Wyoming?
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 Wyoming’s cottage food law — Wyoming Statutes § 11-49-103(k) (Food Freedom Act) — official Wyoming Legislature compiled statutes, Title 11 PDF. Cottage food law changes often, so verify the current wording with your authority before printing.
