Important for home-based food businesses: TownLink Local lists homemade packaged food products in good faith. All home food producers are responsible for complying with their state's cottage food laws and FDA regulations, especially when shipping across state lines. TownLink Local recommends consulting your state's department of agriculture before listing homemade food products for interstate sale.
