Arizona cottage food laws
Rules change, so always confirm with the official Arizona source.
The law: Arizona Cottage Food Program, ARS 36-931–932.
What you can sell
Shelf-stable and eligible refrigerated foods, including many baked goods and qualifying meat-containing products.
What you can't sell
Fish, shellfish, raw milk, alcoholic beverages and marijuana products are excluded.
Do you need a license or permit?
Register with ADHS and maintain accredited food-handler certification; the agency describes the program as free, without annual program fees.
Sales limits
No dollar cap identified in the cited statute; confirm with ADHS if relying on unlimited sales.
Where you can sell
Online sales are allowed; eligible shelf-stable products may use retailers and in-state shipping. Dairy products and meat/poultry-containing products require producer sale and in-person delivery; temperature-controlled transport is limited to one trip of at most two hours, and interstate authority was not established.
Label requirements
Include preparer name and registration number, ingredients, production date and department website; online offers need the same disclosures. Required wording: “This product was produced in a home kitchen that may come in contact with common food allergens and pet allergens and is not subject to public health inspection.” Disclose production in a developmental-disability facility if applicable.
Good to know
The statute imposes special dairy/meat rules even where broader summaries refer simply to shelf-stable versus perishable products. Some details on this page could not be fully confirmed from official sources, so check with the state agency before you sell.
Pricing your products
Knowing your real cost per item matters as much as following the law.
