Kansas cottage food laws
Rules change, so always confirm with the official Kansas source.
The law: Kansas direct-to-consumer food establishment license exemption
What you can sell
Shelf-stable cookies, breads, cakes, cinnamon rolls, fruit pies, traditional jams and jellies, nuts and honey qualify.
What you can't sell
Foods requiring temperature control or specialized processing do not qualify. Home-canned products other than traditional jams and jellies require proper licensing.
Do you need a license or permit?
No food establishment license is required for qualifying direct sales. Other business, tax and local requirements can still apply.
Sales limits
No dollar cap is stated in the agency guidance; statutory confirmation remains outstanding.
Where you can sell
Farmers markets, similar events and internet sales including shipping are allowed. Interstate shipments must satisfy the receiving state’s requirements; resale requires separate licensing.
Label requirements
The agency says packaged foods should identify the product and producer name and address. Complete mandatory ingredient, allergen and quantity requirements were not confirmed from an accessible agency document.
Good to know
The agency search result expressly permits shipping, unlike many cottage-food programs. Its website blocked curl requests. 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.
