Safe Home Baker Label Kit

• Checklist: 3 Things to Verify Before Labeling Your Home Baked Goods

🔍 1. Ingredient accuracy – List every ingredient, including allergens, sourcing & exact quantities. ☑️ 2. Clarity – Use food‑safe fonts, high‑resistant printing that won’t fade, smudge, bleed . ☑️ 3. Expiration date – Print or hand‑write best‑by‑before‑by‑by‑date, not just the bake‑date.

☑️ 4. Test print test – Print a sample on plain paper first to confirm alignment, colourfastness & adhesion before committing full batch.

Label Checklist for Safe Home-Baked Sales

1. Full ingredient list – every component, including extracts, colorants, and fillers. Omitting “small” ingredients is the most frequent compliance issue.

1. Major allergens bolded – wheat, dairy, eggs, soy, peanuts, tree nuts. Don’t rely on a separate allergen statement; put it on the label itself.

1. Production date – use a consistent format (e.g., “Baked: 01/2024”). Helps with rotation and customer trust.

1. Your name & contact – even if cottage food law allows abbreviations, a clear return path reduces questions.

1. Food-safe label material – adhesive must be rated for contact with food products. Standard sticker glue can migrate into frosting or crumbs.

Quick tip: Print a test sheet and press a label onto a cooled cookie. If it wrinkles or peels when touched, it’s not ideal for long‑term display.

Quick label checklist for home-baked gifts

Before tying on a label, confirm these three basics:

• Full ingredient list (including sub‑ingredients, e.g., “vanilla extract”)
• Clear allergen statement (e.g., “Contains wheat, dairy, eggs”)
• Production date (so recipients know the freshness window)

Skip the guesswork and keep your bakes trustworthy.
