Selling your homecooked meals in Arizona.

Arizona’s Cottage Food Program allows individuals to make homemade products that are neither potentially hazardous nor Time or Temperature Control for Safety (TCS) Foods, and offer them for commercial sale.

In 2011, the Arizona State Legislature changed the law—A.R.S. 36-136 (H)(4)(g) and A.R.S. 36-136 (H)(13)—to allow residents to produce non-potentially hazardous baked and confectionery products in their homes and offer them for commercial sale within the state. This law was amended in 2018. The topics listed above provide general guidance for this law, as well as required food handler training and labeling requirements. The rules of this program are found in Arizona Administrative Code R-9-8-118.
