It is up to each seller to abide by the appropriate laws, statutes and regulations relating to your business and selling your products. However, laws vary from state to state and from country to country; laws may also differ by Counties. Each County, State and Country also defines what kind of goods can be sold.
For example, some County/State just requires a Food license known as a Food Handler Card for selling Baked and Confectionery goods. These goods can be prepared at the registrant’s home and the home kitchen does not require an inspection. Many states require that all items intended for human consumption are stored, prepared, labeled and packaged in a licensed kitchen. Other states require notifying the local health department and filing the respective paperwork for a food permit. The state might even limit what you can legally produce for sale on and off the Internet. Your first step is to contact your local health department or department of agriculture depending on where you reside. For interstate selling, follow the FDA guidelines for Home-Based Business.
Sellers can sell any food or food items made in their home or commercial kitchen or any facility owned by them following any regulation set up by the local health department, state or FDA.
Seller shall not sell old, stale or expired food that could be harmful for human consumption.
If you plan to sell within the state, each state has a labelling requirement where in it requires certain information to be on the food label. Please follow respective state’s guidelines for labelling.
For selling outside of state, The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has clear cut guidelines on labeling your items. The FDA labeling requirement provides a detailed account of what is required to include on a label. The FDA has a helpful illustrated guide regarding the requirements when listing your ingredients. The local health department will be able to guide you through the specifics.
