Cottage Foods - The Policy Surveillance Program. A LawAtlas Project"This map presents statutes and regulations that address state cottage food laws and food freedom laws in effect as of September 1, 2017. The map identifies who is allowed to sell cottage foods, what types of cottage food sales are allowed, the requirements to establish a cottage food operation, whether cottage food operations are subject to state inspection, whether cottage food operators must disclose that the food product was made in a home-kitchen, and sales limits on cottage food operations."
About the Policy Surveillance Program
The goal of this program is to increase the use of policy surveillance and legal mapping as tools for improving the nation’s health. More and more, researchers, policy-makers, public health practitioners and the media are recognizing the need for access to reliable information about laws and policies that influence the public’s health.
Legal mapping can help policy-makers, advocates and researchers understand what the laws are on a given topic, know how the laws differ over time and across jurisdictions, and provides data so they may evaluate their impact.
The project is funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and administered by the Temple University Beasley School of Law in the Center for Public Health Law Research. To learn more about the Center and the staff who manage this program, visit http://phlr.org.
