What’s Inside

• State‑specific label templates formatted to match currently published requirements for each state’s cottage food law. Templates include placeholder fields for product name, ingredients, net weight, producer info, and batch/date codes.
• Ingredient & allergen formatting guide — line‑breaks, “Contains” statements, and major allergen disclosure based on FDA/cottage food‑specific conventions.
• Font, size, and placement checklist — minimums for text height, contrast ratios, and required location on primary display panels.
• Nutritional info formatting — optional facts panel layout for states that allow or require it.
• Batch/date code formatting guide — common formats for production‑date labeling required by many state departments of agriculture.
• Quarterly update protocol — all templates are reviewed against 50 state DOA websites every quarter; changes are applied within 48 hours of publication.
• Email support — 2‑hour SLA for template‑specific questions about ingredient lists, font sizes, or required statements.

No legal advice is provided. Templates are based on publicly available state guidelines and are intended to help you align your labeling with currently published requirements.
